* Please note, this section applies to Housing Associations and Private tenancies only.
Council Housing Departments and ALMO's are not considered landlords for HB purposes and HB overpayments cannot therefore be recovered from them. Any overpayment will be recovered from the tenant (from their rent account in some circumstances), click here for more information. *
