Universal Credit: Landlord Guidance Update

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.
