Help with private renting

Help with the cost of private renting

Private renting can be expensive in Guildford. If you are on a low income or benefits, you may be able to get Local Housing Allowance (LHA) to help you pay your rent.

The amount of help you get will depend on the number of bedrooms you need and the amount of income and capital you have.
