ETA: Personally, I'm very glad that I live in a country that would make sure I could carry on living in decent accommodation should any of the above happen to me, and that my kids and I would not be out on the street.

oh ok i see what you mean now but i dont think you need to worrie about that now cus that has changed and alot of people have found themselfs in a very bad situation because of this condem move
Mainly those who took a high interest rate as they had a bad credit rating, or those who MEWed* on their house to buy new cars and pay for holidays.
I don't see why the workers should pay for their treats or their poor credit ratings (also caused by buying themselves things they couldn't afford?).
*MEWed - Morgate Equity Withdrawel - a fancy name for taking a loan which is secured against your house.RENTING? Have you checked to see that your landlord has permission from their mortgage lender to rent the property? If not, you could be thrown out with very little notice.

well i think you made your point clearly about how you feel about contributing to people less well off than yourself and clearly you would make an ideal candidate for the condems

The rents were definitely pushed up my lha, soon as it came in private landlords pushed there rents up in line with lha, the problem now is that on 3 out of 10 properties will be affordable for benefit claimants. The government has sort of engcouraged homelessness.
Someone on here was saying that the same has happened with the childminding costs.RENTING? Have you checked to see that your landlord has permission from their mortgage lender to rent the property? If not, you could be thrown out with very little notice.
