Natalie's Recent Activity

I've had four non rent payers over the many years I have been a landlord and ALL have been on benefits. One went to court and the bailiff stage and was fully trashed, and all the other others left in a bad state with broken furniture or rubbish they didn't want. 90% rent collection on 400 tenants is not a great statistic and would certainly not sway me to take the risk again.

I have to agree Andrew, of the young adults in my immediate circle they all want the Instagram lifestyle before earning it and everything put on a plate for them. There doesn't seem to be any real sacrifice or dedication, just that 'mum' or 'dad' will pay for it.

One of my previous HB tenants left the day before the bailiff taking curtains, poles, lampshades and white goods, leaving malicious damage, rubbish and a huge debt. I gave him a chance when others had discriminated against him, and it bit me badly. Whilst trying to nicely reason with him at the front door before going legal he threatened me with a screwdriver (I was pregnant) but it was him who had rights and he called the police on me for harassing him. I've rented property for 21 years now and absolutely every one that has included HB has ended in me being owed money. Who is there for the landlord when tenants milk the system? The council for telling them to stay? Shelter? My mortgage company saying have six months off? No. No one. Ok, not all tenants on HB are bad, and I'm sure there are many people on DSS that are worthy of a tenancy. But without a gold plated guarantor I would absolutely say no.
