Landlords don't have to pass on the support in all circumstances 😲
It's been warned that more than half a million renters could miss out on £400 energy rebate the government intends to help with the cost of living crisis.
In some circumstances though - the government has said landlords will have to pass on the rebate. Guidance says landlords must not make a profit on energy they are reselling - those who have a domestic electricity contract with a licensed supplier that is then resold to the tenant must comply with maximum resale price rules.
“There’s no specific legal obligation for landlords to pass on this support but they aren’t allowed to overcharge tenants for the energy they’ve used or make a profit on it. This could be the case if they pocket the government support and continue to charge the same rate for utilities. Landlords can only charge for energy used, the standing charge and VAT. So, it’s worth making a note of how much energy you’re using to make sure you're not paying more than you should.
