Housing Benefit landlord forum

As a landlord operating within the Maidstone area we believe that you have an interest in the operation of the housing benefit service provided by Maidstone Borough Council and would like to invite you to attend a regular liaison meeting with officers from the benefit service. 

The aim of the meeting will be to provide opportunity for you to raise issues that you are experiencing, help the benefit service understand the changes that you would like to see, as well as the council having an opportunity to provide an update on performance and future changes.
