" Fit and Proper" landlords as they are known in benefits lingo will not balk at this plan, it gives them a chance to be more selective about who they rent to. From personal experience I had to provide a bond and 2 references to rent my house, from a private landlord, I have been his tenant for more than 8 years now and have to say he is very caring and considerate, extremely conscious of safety issues and would be the first to tell me if he was unhappy with me as a tenant. He has about 6 houses on my street and all his tenants are well looked after. Our houses certainly don't "look rented", unlike the one across the road with the sheet wedged in the window frame acting as a curtain (been like that 4 months) and the majority of noise and nuisance actually comes from tenants who have rented from agencies that are nowhere near as fussy....
