Seriously? You'd be lucky to rent one room for that in most towns. _________________jonbwfc's law: "In any forum thread someone will, no matter what the subject, mention Firefly." When you're feeling too silly for x404, youRwired.net

Plus many councils rent privately and have signed multi-year tenancy agreements to solve such problems and now they are facing serious cuts to funding. They could be caught between a rock and a hard place. _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted.

That is cheap. A four bedroom house would be £600-700 pcm where I live. That's in a nice-ish area (not the cheap scummy part).

This is why Maggie shouldn't have sold off all the council houses at less than market value.

Sorry, yeah it's £260 per week and the allowance is £400 per week - not month as I wrote.  _________________

But Labour should have stopped it and built homes again. _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted. Mine is bordering on seven seconds." https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTg5MzczNTkhttp://astore.amazon.co.uk/wwwx404couk-21

I've just had a little look at this and it appears there are no laws covering opposite sex children sharing bedrooms in private housing. However housing associations and councils may have their own rules and regulations for rented accomodation.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

In fact the other problem is that this will probably impact on B&B's . They generally charge a lot. At least £350 a week if not more, and that is around Brighton it will be a lot more in London, and that is for one person. And for those that think that the unemployed do not deserve such property this will impact anyone who is made redundant. They might find that they will also have to move as a result of these changes. _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted.
