Our Czech Roma neighbours got housing benefit paid to them, they just stopped paying the landlord until he got a legal order to kick them out.

He still hasn't been paid.. 8 months in all... £5200.

To cap it all, the council was "obliged" to rehouse the family, first in a hostel, then in a 4 bedroom house (private not council house).

The payment should go direct to the landlord IMHO.
