Can assured tenants apply for help in paying the rent?

Yes. Any assured tenant who has difficulty in affording his rent may apply to his local authority for housing benefit. Leaflets about housing benefit can be obtained from your local authority. A landlord does not need to be told when a tenant applies for, or gets, housing benefit.
