Part 4: Social Housing in England Chapter 3: Rents for High Income Social Tenants Mandatory rents for local authority tenants Section 86: Payment by local authority of increased income to Secretary of State
Local housing authorities will be required by regulations to pay any additional income received to the exchequer. The exact amounts and the process for paying the money will be set via regulations. Following consultation on the issue of administrative costs, regulations can be used to ensure that local authorities do not incur those costs.
	Regulations also allow for interest to be charged in the event of late payment.
