Proof of rent and tenancy for benefit claims
The following documents are acceptable:
- tenancy agreement
- landlord letter
- tenancy details form completed by your landlord
This evidence must show the following:
- landlord's name
- tenants' name(s)
- date when tenancy started
- amount of rent you pay
- how often the rent is due
If there are service charges included in your rent (for example, water) then we will need a full breakdown of these charges.
The evidence must be signed by the tenant and the landlord.
In many cases, we would expect to see evidence from your bank accounts for example that you have been paying your rent.
