Again I really don't understand how and why people can get in and get so much money with ease.

Also I did not think the council had stock housing worth that much
Somewhere I read that local estate agents think the rent being paid is twice the market value.... I think that happens a lot.As soon as the gov gets involved landlords get pound signs in their eyes and charge a nice premium rate!

At the end of the day they know that they will get the rent,after all the gov won't go bust or not pay up... or move away,for that matter !
