a full breakdown of all the service charges you or your partner pay
a referral application, and documents about the care, support or supervision you or your partner get, or a letter from your landlord or their agent, that shows:
- how much rent you pay
- how often you pay your rent
- when the tenancy start, and
- which services, if any, are included in your rent
