<p>Raising the local housing allowance (LHA) rate to the 30<sup>th</sup> percentile
ensured over 1 million households will see an increase, on average, of £600 this year.</p><p>
</p><p>This increase means that 30% of properties in each broad rental market area
charge a rent within the LHA rate, with the exception of 15 rates in central and inner
London where the national maximum caps continue to apply. The national caps have also
been increased and are now based on the Outer London LHA rate plus 20%.</p>
