New law will force landlords to pass on £400 energy rebate to tenants
Landlords will be forced through legislation to pass on the £400 energy rebate to tenants with all-inclusive bills, the government says.
Zoey, not her real name, has her bills included in her rent and has not heard anything from her landlord about the £400 rebate."I would have a food budget for a while at least... I could pay off credit card debts that I've accumulated," she said. Gillian Cooper, head of energy policy for Citizens Advice, said: "We're relieved to see the government bring in measures to make sure people don't miss out on money they're entitled to.
"With the cost of living crisis continuing to grow, any households which are concerned that they are missing out on opportunities to reduce their bills should speak with their landlord," a spokeswoman said.
