Here, though, we pay into a National Insurance scheme that entitled us to a pittance if we are unemployed or sick. I don't hear whining and whining against those who claim on other insurance schemes for cars, theft from houses etc. If you go somewhere quiet and have a think, you'll realise why people offer comments on public redistribution schemes but not so, on private arrangements between individuals and privately owned businesses. Or at least, I'd hope a quiet think somewhere would make you understand why this is the case. If you don't like it why stay, why move to an area where you are in a minority, voting for a party you don't believe in. I'm happy to live with our NHS and welfare, with no worries about the integrity of my beliefs and being able to vote in furtherance of them honestly.

In some other countries where renting is common, tenants have more security rights. In some other countries where renting is common, tenants are expected to pay a year's rent up front and will be removed by the police, should they fail to do so. No other country, where renting is common, forces other tax payers to pay the full rents of tenants, the tenants not having to make any contribution to the system, in order to earn this privilege. Here, though, we pay into a National Insurance scheme that entitled us to a pittance if we are unemployed or sick. I don't hear whining and whining against those who claim on other insurance schemes for cars, theft from houses etc.

In other countries renting is common, often with more security rights for the tenant.

Yes but when will the Brinklow cutting landslip be dealt with. It seems to me that doing one but not the other is not the answer. Remember those two guys with shovels and a wheelbarrow I mentioned Rog To be sure I thought there were tree fellers on site, Mick, Paddy and Donal.

only if the rent was paid directly to the landlord and the claim was invalid. If tenant recieved it to then pass on, then the claim was against them. My example was a friend with 3 or 4 houses and he went to court to challenge a charge. This was during the Blair government, so may have changed. who won?

And thus we see entropy at work, which is the inevitable and inexorable process in which all matter (and therefore energy) in the universe is moving from an ordered state into an unordered state. This is also known as the 'heat death' of the universe. Have a nice day. Im pretty certain nick will be dead long before the universe. Will his head collapse into a neutron star? Or even a black hole?

I would rather people live in safe accommodation than slums, aiming to ensure that happens may increase costs but is entirely ethical in my opinion. They should certainly desist from bringing in knee jerk new laws to appease loud populist voices. Most especially when people who are generally at the poorer end of the scale, are going to become poorer, as a result. That, to me, is unethical. exactly, don't listen to landlords whining about the removal of section 21 no fault eviction. We seem to be getting somewhere at last.

(1) If this was a bad idea, why does it continue today after 14 years of Con rules?
(2) Would be interested to hear some examples of this.
My understanding is that Universal Credit, which includes the old housing benefit is paid direct to the tenant. The idea being that it gives people responsibility, to sort their own matters. It used to be the case that after a number of months of rental arrears had been built up (2?), a landlord could apply to have the housing benefit paid directly to them. I recall the proposal being that this would not be the case with Universal Credit. This was of great concern to landlords. Understandably. Discussions were being held about the possibility about having the housing benefit element paid direct to landlords. This is 4/5 years ago, so probably out of date. Not true, if the tenant has trouble managing their affairs it can be paid direct, also if 8 weeks in arrears landlord can request direct payment, but may be liable to repay any overpayment.
