cookoo , you are 100% correct , letting aren`t the same anymore , the govt don`t like people owning a leetting business other than the super big boys , the average man would have a couple of properties to collect rent and at the end sell and have a pension pot or keep the rent coming in , as for benefit rents you are right the landlord collects off the tennant which as a big mistake but the govt didn`t want private landlords to have benefit tennants and knew it would stop if they changed the payment method , some councils are going direct to the private landlords and they are renting and missing out the govt benefit system ,
