Difference between maximum Local Housing Allowance and mean (average) private sector rent for a 2 bedroom property. (3479) Metric type
- Help text
- This is the difference calculated from the average monthly private sector rent which presents the mean (average) gross monthly rent paid (ignoring any adjustment for services not eligible for housing benefit), for the two bedroom category for each Local Authority in England for the last 12 months. These statistics are simple price averages and not suitable for comparisons over time due to the changing composition of the underlying data. The Local Housing Allowance (LHA) is then subtracted. It is possible on some occasions to have negative values.
LHA rates are used to calculate housing benefit for tenants renting from private landlords. LHA rates depend on the area you are making your claim in. These areas are called Broad Rental Market Areas (BRMA).
