If you need all 3 bedrooms for people to sleep in you won't pay any bedroom tax. If not why are you moving into a house more suited to a family. By the way I totally disagree with this disgraceful tax.

There's no such tax, it's a removal of a spare room subsidy.

If a house or flat is bigger than another one and everything else is equal it will be more expensive to either rent or buy. That's economics for you.

Its 14% of the rent for one spare room and 25% for two or more spare rooms.

It's this.

I assume it's a SCC or a Housing Association property? When you sign for the property, ask the housing officer to work out how much you will have to pay.

If your child has medical problems and needs their own room surely you will not have to pay extra.

It also only applies to tenants whose rent is paid via housing benefit. It's not an add on.

:confused:

 

Not sure if I've read it correctly.

 

1 child needs (so I assume entitled) room of own (1 bedroom)

that leaves another child who will have a bedroom (2 bedrooms)

and you (3 bedrooms)

 

Or am I missing a brain-cell tonight :hihi:

Children of a different sex have to share until one is 10 years old if you want to avoid the bedroom tax.

 

Two children of the same sex have to share until one of them turns 16.
