its fine saying dont pay rent for a person who lives alone in a 2 bedroom property but if theres no 1 bedroom properties where the hell do these people go ?
also according to the rules fathers who have their children at weekends cant have a second bedroom for them so many single men are facing not only loosing their homes but loosing access to their children because to have overnight access you have to be able to provide a bed for them.I pay my own rent now but these rules would have severly screwed up my access to my kids and god knows what i will do if i am no longer able to pay my own rent again i will probbably loose my home
its not just men effected its anyone living alone in a 2 bedroom property.People who through no fault of their own fnd themselves in a 2 bedromm property are going to be serverly penalized
meanwhile at the other end of teh scale two houses can be knocked into one because someone on benefit cant stop spitting kids out.
if government insists people only have 1 bedroom then they should make 1 bedroom properties available
