<p>The Rent Officers (Housing Benefit Functions) Order 1997 instructs Rent Officers
how to compile the list of rents used in the calculation of local housing allowance
rates (including the shared accommodation rate) and the 30<sup>th</sup> percentile
of local rents for each broad rental market area. In compiling the list of rents,
Rent Officers must exclude the amount of any rent which in the Rent Officer’s opinion
is attributable to provision of services or facilities made available to the tenant
which are ineligible to be met by Housing Benefit.</p>
