Pendle News Room

Any Pendle landlord who has Housing Benefit paid directly to them can now log on to the Landlords’ Portal 24 hours a day, seven days a week to access payment details.

Councillor Mohammed Iqbal, Leader of Pendle Council, said: “This new service is much more convenient and will replace any information we currently send as letters or emails.

“Instead, information is stored securely and you can access it whenever you need to."

Landlords who are set up on the Portal will be able to:

•             view payment schedules including details of previous payments

•             access details of Housing Benefit entitlement for tenants they receive direct payments

•             check the status of their tenants’ claim

•             view future amounts and due dates

•             report a change in tenants’ circumstances.

Councillor Iqbal added: “If you’ve already provided us with your current email address, you should already have received your login details.

“If you’d like to access the Landlords’ Portal and you haven't yet provided your details, email pendlelandlords@liberata.com”
