Housing benefit landlords

The request was refused by Spelthorne Borough Council.

Dear Spelthorne Borough Council,

Please can you supply any telephone numbers or addresses for landlords that accept housing benefits.

Yours faithfully,
David Mitchell

Beck, Madeleine, Spelthorne Borough Council

I refer to your request for information and can confirm that the Council do not hold a list of Landlords who would accept housing benefit claimants. The Council do have details of Landlords who are currently being paid benefit but they have not consented for their details to be freely published. The information requested constitutes personal data under the Data Protection Act 1998, the exemption under section 40 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 applies.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require any further information.
