The bedroom tax is failing to free up larger social homes
in London, according to research by the G15 group of housing associations.
Interim findings from the Real London Lives project reveal around a quarter of
tenants were affected by the bedroom tax between 2013 and 2015, but 74% of
those affected in 2013 remained in the same situation over the three-year study
period. Of the remaining one quarter, 12% stopped receiving housing benefit and
14% no longer had extra bedrooms due to changes in family circumstances. Only a handful of residents affected by the
bedroom tax said they had moved as a direct result of the policy. Read more on
the G15 website.
