Rent more than lha

[MuyBien]

Hi all, is ok to rent a property that's more than the local housing allowance? I understand that I would have to make up the difference.

Thanks

Yes, if the landlord is happy to take you and yo u can afford to pay it its fine. Lots of landlords have rents set up above the lha.

Yep, my LHA is 900 quid. My rent 1400!

Yes, my rent is £980 and LHA is £758. I just top up the rest.

Most rents are more than LHA!

My LHA is £1280 but i'll only receive £900 ( I hope) because of deductions. I think my rent will be £1400 approx
