The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has refreshed
the guidance on Universal Credit to help landlords understand how to manage
tenants who are reliant on the payments in order to meet their rental obligations.
The guidance provides landlords with a summarised overview of how they can
navigate issues relating to Managed Payment to Landlord (MPTL), Discretionary
Housing Payments (DHP) and recovering rents arrears from a Universal Credit
claim. For landlords, the guide is a one-stop shop that can help them deal with
issues that can arise from different stages of a tenancy and it signposts them
to various resources that can help them support their tenants. Read more on the
NLA website.
