Compensation for Dehumidifier usage within Council Homes
We have reviewed our procedure for compensating our tenants for electricity usage when we have to use a dehumidifier following a flood within the property.
In circumstances where a person qualifies for compensation and has arrears, either of rent or council tax, any compensation payment will normally be paid directly to the rent account or council tax accounts and the tenant informed accordingly.
