Landlord refuses to write letter for Housing Benefit to Lodger & now want me to leave

Think the person he pays money to is his landlord: However it is quite possible that that person does not own the property, & the person he pays money to may well be tenant of the owner, the tenant's landlord (but not OP's landlord)0

Shelter told me to write to the person that signed my receipts informing that I paid the pending gas + electricity fees on the landlord account as request while the present rent arrears are only due to his refusal to provide the letter/tenancy agreement required by the council. They equally adviced me to state in the letter that I wanted to leave two months ago but he refused to make two months refund/rebate (one month rent + one month deposit) and to inform him as he refuses to provide the letter for the council, one can legitimately consider he is not the landlord and also I am a tenant instead of a lodger.I wonder if the person you are living with is really your landlord, or an agent for a landlord who lives elsewhere.
Give Shelter a call to see if they can help clarify whether you're a lodger or a tenant.0
