Benefit Limits and Housing Affordability for Private Tenants

I thought that it might be useful to look, in detail, at affordability in the private sector post April.

I’ve put together the possible household composition for each bedroom linked LHA figure for each Broad Rental Market Area (BRMA) in Britain and then looked at how much people will have available to pay rent in those areas, taking account of the overall benefits cap being introduced in April. I’ve modelled the Housing Benefit only cap and also the cap that will operate in Universal Credit as well.
