"As for the bedroom tax, if you own your own property, cant afford it and have a spare room, you can get in a lodger, or downsize and come away with a bit of dosh. A Council Tenant doesnt have these options." As I have no experience of Council tenancies I was not aware that council tenants could rent out spare rooms. I am aware though of council tenants who have indeed rented out to lodgers so I assume they are doing this 'illegally' ?? If so - the Council's obviously don't have the infrastructure or the will to prosecute these people so the bedroom tax would indeed make some sense to ensure that only the really needy people (disabled etc) have these spare rooms. |
