Sign, because the landlord has to sign a form for the healthboard.
6. As regards to RA then you need to have your ducks in a row. If you have never recieved RA before then it will take a while to process this. Dont expect that the landlord will be willing to accept your word that eventually the COCO will approve your RA and pay him in arrears. You may need to provide the money to cover rent and first month deposit up front while you wait for RA to come through. You landlord has probably been burned before and is once bitten twice shy.
Also, I wonder if there is some scam for getting the forms signed. I had one lady insisting I sign her forms and I said not until I recieved the deposit + first month (if I decided to rent to her). She was very pushy and kept insisting I sign and said it woudn;t make any difference to me. Could they be claiming for more than one property or under a false name?
It may have been that the lady wanted to be sure she qualified for Rent Supplement before paying over money to you - nothing more!
Never had problems with tenants who earned the rent.
the tenant will ask me to fill out a reduced rent figure on the s/w form as they say this is the only way they can get allowance IE: a young girl with one kid wont be entertained for a three bed semi and unless the s/w see its only costing her 1000 as apposed to 1200 its a no no. The lease agreement is filled out for the full amount as is the prtb form so I'm not trying to avoid any responsibilities, can anybody see if this could cause problems and how.
My opinion and previous experience
rent allowance tenant, never again !!
destroyed the place. Was the first and last time.

How much do single mothers get under the rent allowance scheme?
presumably it is only non workers that get the rent allowance?
I have a property up for rent at the moment and about 70% of the calls I'm getting to view it are from people asking do I take rent allowance. I'm not sure what to tell them as I don't fully understand how much these tennants are entitled to from the state and where does the rest of the money come from.
My present point of view is that these tennants would be less desireable due to the fact that -
- If they are on rent allowance, they don't work, and therefore, where do they get the balance of the money, over and above what the state pays them.
- Whilst I'll certainly get the state portion of the rent, I could end up chasing the balance every month from the tennant.
im a single mother and i know that everybody is allowed an amout due to there circumstances. im allowed 1200 as ive 3 sons so if whoever you rent to if there allowed whatever amount your asking of the welfare then they dont have to pay you anything you get the loy of the welfare.
Am I misguided in this assumption about rent allowance tennants?
Any experience/advice greatly appreciated.
it depends on how many children you have when claiming for r/a as a single parent. ive 3 sons so im allowed 1200 a month. when i only had 1 son i was only allowed 968 a month.
