Nothing whatsoever to do with the "bedroom tax". As I pointed out, any similar rule has NEVER been in place for the private rented sector. So why was something that is now supposedly deemed illegal, not deemed illegal before 2013 or even before 2010?
UK Supreme Court ruling on the matter.

In A’s case, the judges found by a majority of 5-2 in favour of the government. They ruled while A must continue to receive the protection of the sanctuary scheme, that did not automatically require her to have an extra bedroom, therefore the bedroom tax did not discriminate against women.

No mention of any subsequent attacks, attempted or otherwise, so the whole thing was unsurprisingly unnecessary in the first place.
If it is supposedly a matter of the evil Tories and the evil "bedroom tax", then the same goes for Labour and Housing Benefit.
