    Housing benefit and rent penalty notices

    If a private landlord fails to register with the local authority, s/he can be issued with a rent penalty notice suspending the rental income on the property.

    As no rent will be payable, the tenant will cease to be entitled to housing benefit. For more information, please see the section on private landlord registration.
