It is common sense. The government can't afford to keep paying housing benefit of £1000 per month for these families. The landlords will soon lower the amount they charge once they realise that there aren't many private tenants in employment who can/will pay that amount.

We rent privately and we only pay £400 PCM (not housing benefit)... but that is obviously not down south and we have a realistic landlord.

Hi daffy654, it's £1,000 a week being capped to £400 a week!! Houses to rent round where I live are around the £750 PCM

£400 a week is a joke make it £400 a month.

If they're shipped out of London maybe they'll go to your part of the country instead. Make them welcome.

So jno I take it you agree with paying £1000 a week to someone ?

It is clearly not on and to simply make the accusation of tories cleansing is laughable.

Common sense. Private Landlords are milking the system. Greedy landlords raise rents to exorbitant levels knowing tenants are having their rent paid through housing benefits. Taxpayers are overpaying to line the pockets of fatcat landlords. Capping housing benefits will help reduce the vast sums of taxpayers money ploughed into rented accommodation and into private landlords pockets. Some of the savings should be spent on social housing.

Good post olddutch. I agree entirely - and I also agree with youngmafbog's answer to jno.
