When you apply for a Rent or Mortgage Interest Supplement, a decision will be made based on:
- whether the size of your accommodation is appropriate to your family size
- if you have applied for or have been refused Local Authority housing where this is available
- if you have a valid reason for leaving the parental home
- the cost of your accommodation compared to rent levels for similar accommodation in the area
- whether you are sharing your accommodation with other tenants
- what arrangements, if any, you have made with your lending agency to re-negotiate your mortgage payments.
Note
|
You must have been able to meet the mortgage repayments when the mortgage was taken out.
