HAP threshold

Comment_below

Hi,

I am a landlord that has a property rented to a HAP tenant. The Council pay me, the tenant pays me a top up amount and the tenant also pays the Council a contribution based on their income.

As I was trying to arrange an inspection/repair visit of the property this week, I have the tenant a whole week to pick a date/time for this visit from tomorrow Sunday to Friday from 9am to 7pm. However the tenant specificallt stated in the text that the only time he'll be available will be Friday evening at 6pm.

It got me wondering, that as this tenant states he's working 6 days a week full time and is the only tenant in the property.......I know a HAP tenant can work full time and depending on their income their HAP contribution to the council differs..........However what is the threshold or maximum a tenant can earn weekly/annually to be still entitled to HAP?

That's the maximim amount the Council pays the council, I know those amounts.

I'm looking at the maximum amount a single HAP tenant can earn for them to still be eligible for HAP.

As stated above, can earn up to 35k. Once they're on the housing list you're entitled to HAP

Just curious, Does anyone know what the amount of contribution a HAP tenant might pay to a particular council based on certain earning bands?

Dopends on the council. Each council sets it's on differential rent scheme. It's should be published online. Starts in the region of 12% but goes higher than that depending on the council
