  Tom, the talk was about rogue landlords, and the following phrase in Howard's post 65 was the object of my comments:
  
  "rogue landlords that pack as many unhousetrained people as they can into a property then bleed the taxpayer for the rent have no comebacks"
  
  If you follow my point through, you'll find there might be an issue concerning housing benefits paid out without proper control on the part of the Coucil as to whether the declarations presented by tenants are exact.
  
  For example, it two people each declare to live in the same room (bed-sit), they will NOT each recveive the full rent, else the landlord would get from the State the same rent two times.
  
  If they each declare to live in a separate room (ie room A, room B), they will each receive the full rent.
  
  Does the Coucil (London or other large cities) actually go and see whether the two claimants are indeed occupying two different rooms?
  If they did, we might save a lot of tax-payers money!
