Universal Credit
Information for
Private Sector
Landlords
A new benefit called Universal Credit
(UC) is gradually being introduced to
replace a range of benefits and tax
credits for people of working age.
This booklet helps private
sector landlords understand the
changes and how they can help
their tenants prepare for direct
rent payments.
It also explains what budgeting
and payment support is available
for tenants who may need help
moving to the new system. This
includes Alternative Payment
Arrangements if tenants are
finding it hard to manage their
Universal Credit payment.
