local housing allowance (lha) was introduced on 7 april 2008 to provide housing benefit entitlement for tenants renting private sector accommodation in england, scotland and wales. the lha system introduced significant changes to the way housing benefit (hb) levels are restricted and how benefit is paid. it did not replace housing benefit - it is just a different way of calculating entitlement under the existing housing benefit scheme: the local housing allowance is based on the 30th percentile of local rented accommodation. lha rates relate to the area in which the housing benefit claim is made. these areas are called broad rental market areas, defined as "where a person could reasonably be expected to live taking into account access to facilities and services."
