Landlords willing or wanting to rent to benefit claimants tend to know the upper limit that the benefit agencies will pay and set their rents accordingly. Nothing to do with "market forces" as such, rather a knowledge of how much they can get on a regular basis and making sure they get their full share. In order to ensure that fair rents are paid for each property it would require inspectors to visit and assess each property. Of course that would necessitate employing sufficient inspectors to do the job, and increase a wage bill you were trying to reduce.
Market forces, certainly these days, have nothing to do with 'fair prices' but rather getting every last penny that is going no matter the worth.
