Another Landlord Reclassifies Homes

Labour-led Leeds Council has become the latest social landlord to consider reclassifying homes to enable tenants to avoid the bedroom tax.  The Council has confirmed it is looking at reclassifying 865 homes. These include 398 three-bedroom, low-rise flats which could be re-designated as two-bedroom and 341 five-bedroom houses with a downstairs bedroom which could be reclassified as having four bedrooms. There are also 126 two-bedroom flats which the council believes could be classed as one-bedroom. Read more on the Leeds Council website.
