The theory is because landlords knew if they were getting money direct from the council they could look up the councils policy and just charge the maximum the council will willing to pay, irrespective of market value. Personally I would accept anyone on any kind of benefit as there are enough hard working struggling people trying to find somewhere to live.

Also its probably easier. There are some very good landlords out there, but there are some really scummy ones who've effectively cornered the market in lower price rental - typically to people who 30 years ago would have been council tennets. Round our way, those people are not getting a decent service.

Also somewhat more cynically, the council is also then in a position if they don't pay the rent, of being able to stop their housing benefit, or if they're evicted not having to pay them any benefits.

I agree that Bubble Wrap's post was shocking as unless he is colour blind he should be able to see that green clothing goes quite well with ginger hair
