A constituent has written to me about her housing plight. She may soon be made homeless by her landlord, and is struggling to find a new home to rent because many of the local estate agents say the landlords on their books refuse to take tenants who claim housing benefit. Given the very high proportion of private tenants claiming housing benefit, will you include a clause in your London Rental Standard encouraging landlords and managing and letting agents to accept and support Londoners who claim housing benefit?
