The Rent Service

The Rent Service is an executive Agency of the Department for Work and Pensions and is a front line delivery organisation. The Agency’s primary functions are to provide a series of residential rental determinations which influence the amount of housing benefit that local authorities pay to claimants living in the private rented sector of the housing market; and to provide valuations for landlords and tenants for fair rent registrations.

They also have other functions such as providing non statutory advice to customers and stakeholders within the public, private and charity sectors and providing valuations for housing renovation grants.

Note: The Rent Service is a service for customers in England only.
