It would be good to understand how many private rented properties there are, however you make an assumption that all 50k rent from private landlords.
It's likely that your 20% figure may be considerably lower when actual figures are put in place.
No, because the LHA caps don't apply to social housing....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

Our exceptionally low arrears and reposession rates are testament to that fact.
So, all is well then.
