This is what I don't understand (Sorry if I seem thick). The cost of the permit is going to be passed on to the tenants through rent increases, and if the Rents are being paid by Housing benefit (either Central Govt. or Local monies) all this means is more public (tax payer) money going into the landlords pockets
Someone please explain where i am going wrong, thanks
