A certain Pakistani, who has a huge string of addresses rented out, is well known for not waiting for the legal system to evict non-payers, etc. They seem to vanish into the night, then turn up at the Council offices "demanding rehousing" hoping that the Council has not yet been contacted by this particular landlord. He catches them though... and has followed some as far as Hull for his money.
At least 2 of his houses that I personally know of were trashed and stripped of anything that could be sold (including water pipes, taps, radiators and light fittings).
Another house of his was rented to a young Czech Roma couple with a babe-in-arms. He was alerted to ELEVEN adults and several children sharing it a week later. He waited for them to go out, emptied all their belongings onto the pavement, then changed the locks.
That same night they broke back in and were found by the landlords "cleaning team"
who "advised them to leave the property immediately".
Every property he rented to these people now receive a steady stream of Red Notices from every possible form of financial institution, plus Baliff visits which really upset the new tenants.
He now has a zero-tolerance policy against Czech Roma.
To return to the thread subject, I wonder if it will only be unemployed who will suffer this cap. Or will people on low-incomes and/or people with low incomes and large families be capped as well? I ask this as the Czech Roma family who lived very close to us brought in under £150 per week wages, but at least £500 per week in benefits (mainly due to their young children and babies).
