Peterborough Landlords Struggles To Get Rent from LHA Tenants

A PETERBOROUGH private landlord has hit out at changes to housing benefit rules – claiming some tenants are "taking their rent money and running".
Altaf Hussain says he has been swindled out of £2,500 since the Local Housing Allowance (LHA) came in last April, which saw housing benefit paid directly to private tenants rather than landlords. - Read more in the Peterborough Telegraph

The National Landlords Association backed his claims, revealing they had been inundated with calls from landlords out of pocket since the LHA came into force.

    Why on earth would they do it that way, surley paying the landlord is the better way of doing it as it stops this happening and make the process easiers.

    Some times i think we should just get rid of government. Hope Hussain got his money back in the end.
