exiges Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 (edited) Friend of mine was telling me today how one of his properties is rented out to a family of Somalians on housing benefit.. He had a call from the tenant asking to be evicted. Yes, asking the landlord to evict her.. Why? She wasnt happy with the fairly substantial house she was getting for nothing from him, no, she wanted bigger and better but could only be rehoused if evicted.. There was a suggestion things wouldn't go well at his property if he didn't play ball. Edited February 6, 2012 by exiges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bergkamp N4 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 OP Where in the uk is this house? Are you the owner. Grassed up???? How will this help anyone she will still be entitled to HB and then they could go to the local authority claim harassment and then get rehoused in a bigger and better place. The whole system is wrong this particular woman is just playing the game (OP the fact she is Somali is irrevelant) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witsended Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Story does not add up,woman in private rental wants to be evicted so will be given larger better house by who? Most social housing given out in an emergency is crap at least round here. They are places no one wants,and if you accept them you will never get out of them. Know lots of people in that situation who accepted a place and have spent years trying to get out of what are shite holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingBingo Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 ??? what?? are you incandescent with rage or something? Yes.......I have to work until about August every year just to pay the fine to the state for being productive and law abiding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bergkamp N4 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 OP thanks for the full info. Golders Green is a cracking area to live in, ticks all the boxes good housing, interesting + safe high road, Golders Hill Park, Tube st and Hampstead Heath within walking distance. Well out of the price range of a normal working Londoner. KB the landlord and tenant mentioned on this thread are law abiding. Tenant has choosen to claim HB, LL to accept the tenant. You have a choice as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bergkamp N4 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Amen to that brother KB! Big thanks to the current shower who have capped the HB rates for new claimants. Still to high imo even incl. London but at least its something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
