answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/06/2021 answer text <p>The UK Government has provided an unprecedented package of financial support which is available to tenants.</p><p>The Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme and £20 per week uplift in Universal Credit are in place until the end of September helping renters to continue paying their rent. Local housing allowance rates have been maintained at their increased level in cash terms in 2021/22, meaning claimants renting in the private rented sector continue to benefit from the significant increase in the local housing allowance rates applied in April 2020. For those who require additional support, Discretionary Housing Payments (DHP) are available. For 2021-22 the Government has made £140 million available in DHP funding, building on the £180 million provided last year.</p><p>Renters will continue to benefit from longer notice periods, giving them more time to make alternative arrangements. As of 1 June, until at least 30 September, notice periods will be at least 4 months except in the most egregious cases.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Walsall North answering member printed Eddie Hughes question first answered 14/06/2021 16:18:55 answering member 4635 label Biography information for Eddie Hughes
