If you are single, under 25 and eligible for Housing Benefit, the Housing Benefit Regulations restrict the amount of benefit you can receive to the equivalent of the cost of renting a room in a shared house. In Aylesbury Vale this figure varies depending on the size and quality of the accommodation.

Consider using a pre-tenancy determination to try to establish whether a place is likely to be affordable for you. See Help with paying your rent.
