The landlord portal does not include functionality to track pre-existing and/or arrears levels.</p><p> </p><p>The Social Rented Sector landlord is responsible alongside the claimant for managing their rent account. The Social Rented Sector landlord must maintain responsibility for the management of the tenants’ rent accounts as there are various reasons beyond the control of DWP that may impact arrears increasing or decreasing. For example, a tenant may choose to pay the landlord directly to reduce rent arrears. DWP would not be aware of this, making it impossible and impracticable to manage and track this type of rent arrear.</p> answering member constituency East Hampshire answering member printed Damian Hinds question first answered 21/12/2017 14:27:34 answering member 3969 label Biography information for Damian Hinds
