Point 1 If a person is not living at the said premises how can they call the person they are trying to rent from their landlord.

2. I get paid by the DDSS the rent for a property this is a negotiated settlement between all 3 parties. This money is sent directly to my bank account.

3. Benefit for a room is paid to the tenant and if I advertise for a working person and not DHSS then that is what I want. DHSS people need not apply. Its their right not to apply for an advert of that nature.
Although I am discriminating against Benefit claimers at the end of the day on the door step its my right who I let in.
If I let in a worker who then ends up on benefit that is a different story.

I have a good track record with the benefits office and that counts more than your conjecture.

A landlord friend of mine rented a property to a bloke on benefits, the bloke came home one night drunk and tripped on a crack in the path to the house(or so he claimed) he then sued my friend for compensation.
Any one thinking of becoming a landlord should be aware that as owner of the rented property your tenant can sue you if they are injured on your property. because the landlord is responsible for the maintenance of the property if your tenant trips and falls downstairs due to a loose floorboard or whatever you can be held liable.
 
Whatever money a welfare benefit claimant is paid, a percetage is paid in income tax and a bare minimum NIC is also paid.
And he also pays VAT on whatever he buys, so in effect a benefit claimant is contributing to the state coffers in one way or another.

.... So, say Jeff gives me £50, but when I spend my £50, I have to pay Jeff £10...i am contributing to Jeff's wealth?

My maths make it that Jeff is £40 worse off...not to question your workings out of course.

so you're retracting your statement that "a benefit claimant is contributing to the state coffers" ?

I wasn't talking about whether I personally liked it or not, i was just a little confused how you consider someone paying back the government only a small percentage of what they were given to be contributing.
 
skitzee,
What about the money that they contributed when they were in work?
Being unemployed is not the ideal situation and yes there are out and about scroungers claiming benefits but you can't tar every claimant with the same brush can you? Redundancy can hit anybody can't it?
What about the guy in perhaps his fifties who has worked diligently for years and paid his dues to society, he might be worried sick as to how he is going to pay his mortgage, does he suddenly become a scrounging scumbag as soon as he has to sign on for JSA?
Have a bit of compassion for others less fortunate than yourself, my next door neighbour, nice house car etc etc with a good job was forever slagging off benefit claimants, he was suddenly made redundant and signed on for JSA, now he is doing work for cash in the hand and has changed his tune, just say to yourself "There but for the grace of God go I"

If the state takes a percentage of a claimants money he is obviously repaying a small amount back isn't he?
 
What seems madness to me is employing foreigners who send their money overseas but who take the jobs away from the Brits who then have to claim benefits. It's the economics of the madhouse.
 
When I worked in Germany I went to a local bank to arrange sending money back home, they in no uncertain terms let it be known that they did not like me sending money out of the country, they couldn't stop me but they did not like it.
 
Those of you on here who are venting their spleen on the unemployed ought to aim their venom to the right quarters. Such as the wealthy MP's taking advantage of their parlimentary expences.
Banks who were rescued by taxpayers money who are still giving their staff obscene bonuses.

...yes but unless that percentage is 100 percent, the state is worse off. I am not commenting on my views on this. This is a fact though.

...yawn, ...yeah don't give bonuses to people that WORK for their money and hit their targets, give it to the unemployed...because THAT makes sense.
 
skitzee,
You seem to me to be a nasty piece of work, not the type of person I could take to.
You have turned this thread into a new low, this is a group that is full of building trade workers, I cant see you being one, more like a slime ball office worker.
 
skitzee,
This thread was started by dbaplaya asking for advice and information on the best way to offer a house for rent, several members posted with some good sound advice on how to go about it.
You jumped in and started your usual rant about people on JSA you never differentiated about genuine claimants but lumped everyone in the same boat, whats your hatred about people on JSA? is it perhaps because your wife ran away with someone on JSA??
My advice to anyone on JSA is to put the word out that you are available for cash in the hand jobs and go for it, life is a dog eat dog world dont let people like skitzee grind you down, and remember Christmas is just around the corner, get the money in to fill the kids Christmas stockings with a few prezzies and screw the likes of skitzee and his pals.
 
I have not said a thing about jsa. Like most people I told the OP to reconsider renting out to housing benefit renter as as they don't in general look after the place. It was only when you claimed that people on benefits increase the coffers of the state that I felt I should point out your failing logic.

I think I've been pretty tame .
