Oh god another set of problems have arisen. I have lived in my privately rented house since April 2004. Rent always paid on the first of the month and to date this has never been late. I was made redundant on 4th Jan and have claimed housing benefit. I thought I had a good relationship with my landlord?? He asked me to pursue a home heating cold buster grant for a new boiler etc as he said whilst I was on benefits I could get this done free? It transpires that a charge will be made against his property for the installation. So no new boiler for me. I have asked him for a new tenancy agreement as the last one expired on april 2005 as I know I am going to need this to show OR. He cant see why I need a new one? Next question. New job starts on 20th July and I will be still reliant on housing benefit but am likely to get a nil tax code as in my new job I will pay tax. How will that affect my housing benefit as I know they will take your payslip as what you earn? Thanks again for any replies
