Two-thirds of households which have been hit by the “bedroom tax” are in debt after falling behind on rent payments, according to the National Housing Federation.
A survey of 183 housing associations carried out by the Federation revealed that 66% of residents who have been affected by the government’s bedroom tax are in rent arrears, while 38% admitted they are in debt as they are unable to pay the bedroom tax.
