Presumably when ‘the landlord’ changed name the tenant was told about
it and therefore this should level things out a bit as we do not have a duty to
obtain consent merely to advise any changes to the tenant and, if they have a
problem with this, to allow them to challenge it. Do you think the tenant will
not like HB discussing h is details with the new landlord then?

Subject: [data-protection] Landlord question
A tenant when claiming housing benefit answered 'yes' back in 2006 to
the question "do you give permission for the Council to discuss any aspect
of your claim with the landlord?" He was residing with the landlord at the
time and paying rent.
The landlord has now died and her son has inherited the property. Does
he now count as the landlord and can historical details of the claimant's
benefit claim be discussed with him or should we obtain consent again ?
