Is LA Flex available to private tenants or homeowners?
Yes, LA Flex (Local Authority Flexible Eligibility) is typically available to both private tenants and homeowners. The scheme is designed to help a wider range of households access energy efficiency grants, even if they don’t qualify through traditional benefit-related routes.
Here’s how it works:
- Private Tenants: You can usually apply for LA Flex, but you’ll need your landlord’s permission for any improvements to be made to the property.
- Homeowners: You can also qualify for LA Flex if your household meets the local authority’s criteria (such as low income or vulnerability to cold).
Eligibility criteria can vary by local authority, so it’s always best to check the specific requirements in your area or contact your council for confirmation.
