Levels of rent and service charges for exempt accommodation in your local authority area

Response to this request is long overdue. By law, under all circumstances, Forest Heath District Council should have responded by now (details). You can complain by requesting an internal review.

Dear Forest Heath District Council,

I would be most grateful if you could provide the following information in respect of providers of exempt accommodation (regardless of whether they are registered as providers of social housing with the HCA) covering the period of the last 3 financial years (i.e. 2015-16, 2016-17, 2017-18):

1. details of the lowest awarded eligible core rent;

2. details of the highest awarded eligible core rent;

3. details of the lowest awarded gross eligible rent (i.e. inclusive of the core rent and the eligible service charges);

4. details of the highest awarded gross eligible rent (i.e. inclusive of the core rent and the eligible service charges); and

5. details of any core rents and gross eligible rents where the claimed amount is higher than the highest awarded amounts AND has been subject to an appeal to the first-tier tribunal social entitlement chamber.

Yours faithfully,

James Stuart
