Re: Renting Property in Accrington
RSLs dont charge that much and arent in that £150pw market, therefore it must be a private rent. That means a £65 ceiling family rent, the rest is their problem. I guess somehow, through a combination of several dole cheques [but living together will sqeeze that unless they are dependents, elderly family or kids eg], work [which would knock out the benefits] and foreigners they find the cash.
If anyone is illegally claiming, or you suspect then ring up Housing Benefit Fraud at HBC right way, no hesitation. They have are very active in persuant of dodgers and work with DHSS. Not many fiddle but those that do are an absolute disgrace to themselves and everyone else. Plenty more sponge and its about time the govt had a crackdown.
