Oh and I am quite happily housed in a detached house with a lovely landlord who acepted me as a person and preferred her rent via housing benefits as it is guranteed especially as I had my own rent in advance and deposit.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH

i am currently a 29 year old single mum who is in receipt of housing benefit. i am working 30 hours a week and going to college 21 hours a week i can not get a private rent in my area that my daughter is at school. landlords r just not interested in dss at all, which is really surpriseing because its garunteed rent. i know it is paid 4 weeks in arrears but if they got the first month in advance then where is the problem.

im disgusted in the responce form some of the landlords who have replied about scum and drug users etc it is a bad name given to the wrong people. i dont drink or smoke or do drugs or do any of the friends i have who are on benefits. people shouldnt be judged just because of other peoples mistakes.

i am currently living with my parents on a sofa and my daughter on a blow up baed we have been for 5 months since my divorce, i think landlords should give more consideration to this and perhaps meet potential renters of there properties. worcester is terrible and even the council list is 18 months long so my time here seems endless.

if anyone knows of any decent landlords in worcester could you let me know.

many thanks
karen


I think thre is an agency called coopers that operates from worcester they deal with hb tennants this is the website http://www.coopers-residential.co.uk/ Failing that go to your local council and demand a list of hb landlords and also put out a wanted ad that's what i did and i got a good place then you dont have to convince them to house you, you have the power and and can decide whats best for you. Hope that helps

housing benefit recipients=trash of the world=mega-bottom of the fucking pile

I would only come close to a tenant on the dole to discharge a round of bullets in his head

who is the landlord in his right mind who's going to want one of these dropouts who's into watching tv after midnight with a can of lager and
flipping trough any channel because there's no reason to get up in the morning?

give them some mustard gas is what i say

I KNOW YOU AINT TALKING ABOUT ME!!!!


I am nothing like you described, nor many of the other people i know on HB.

You have a warped and incorrect perception of people in receipt of HB.

I would love to meet someone like you face to face. Bring the gun if you want...lol

You strike me as someone with a very sad and lonely life with far too much time on their hands, not enough common sense nor education, as only an IDIOT can spout so much FOOLNIISHNESS, i mean if you were leading a fulfilling life how on earth could you find the time to think up then dare to write such DUMB things.

Smile it don't hurt, start reading and go back to college yeah. Peace x

I may have some time at the moment, but my idleness is very
much paid for by the money I have earned using my brains
and managing my business interests, not sitting in my ass while
being paid by the state.

Suck it bitch suck it!

Thanks covvy

I like the T-shirt. It's not something I would wear though, because
I'm not into the motto on the T-shirt thing. That came later. One was
young when dinosaurs were around.

You're sure you don't want to be my lodger? Come on, you know
you want to, come on motherfucker!

I promise not to lock you out. Well not more than once anyway

Byker Grove ... quoting is really easy dude.
Maybe you should preview first before you submit ?

o Who / what is Saddo ?
o And why would you tell the gumtree community that you had a shower ?
o Why do people put an x underneath their posting ?

PostPosted: Tue Jul 15, 2008 4:33 pm    Post subject: what is this forum here for again?!! Reply with quote

Hello all, (sensible, intelligent, clean mouthed people that is!)

From reading the posts on this forum, I at first assumed it was for people to discuss the hardships of finding a property when in receipt of Housing benefits, whatever the reason. However it seems that a lot of you people on here (not all of you mind) have lost sight of that and turned it into a place for disrespecting those who for whatever unfortunate reason need to receive assistance with rent and maybe deposits.

I just wanted to say that I agree with the intelligent people on here who know that not all people in receipt of housing benefit are "scum, junkies and unreliable".
Those of you who assume this are narrow minded bigots who obviously don't understand that everybody is different and not everybody should be tarred with the same brush. I see you all as sheep who cannot come up with ideas for yourselves and instead decide to follow the opinions and perceptions of other narrow minded bigots without any true basis for this.

You all place such a huge amount on the fact that you have university degrees and own or run your own businesses but that really doesn't count for anything when you are so foolish and small minded.

I think you should all take a step back and take a look at yourselves before you decide to come online and disrespect and judge others less fortunate that yourselves.

Back to the real reason for this forum I am a single mum who is in receipt of housing benefit, like many of you I too have been looking for a 3 bedroom property in or around the harrow area, but to no avail as most landlords do not want to take on a low income family. I am on a council rent deposit scheme and am able to provide a months rent upfront if desired, but just the mention of HB is enough to make landlords run for the hills!!!!

Does anybody have any ideas on a solution to this?

Thanks

ps. Dr. Eugenics for someone with such a highly regarded degree as you claim you have your language on this forum actually puts you in the same barrel as the people you claim you want to shoot in the head! what sort of thug mentality is that? for such a highly intelligent person you come across as being a street hooligan of the worst kind.
I don't know what area you are from or what kind of people you may have met to give you this perception, but in my opinion you are not far of the trash barrel yourself. Maybe you should consider shooting yourself in the head?!
