Hi
I recently discovered that I've been given the shared bedroom rate in error and that I should have been getting the one bedroom rate.
I don't think its going to happen but will the council repay the underpayments over the last few months?
Thanks all.

We had a 6 month AST that expired 2 years ago and have been on a periodic tenancy since then.
The agent has told us that we have a 5% increase in rent from May 2019 and have told us they want us to sign a new AST.
We don't want to move off the Periodic Tenancy for now but we are worried that we will be given notice if we don't re-sign even if we agree to the increased rent.
Any advice at all on where we stand would be most welcome.
Thank you
Daphne
What is the situation regarding the property? Joint tenancy wth others or partner etc
