Well they say something is worth what the highest bidder will pay.

In my head it's worth £155, but if Bristol Council obviously think differently if they will pay £167.31/week for it without question. Nothing stopping them finding alternative accomodation for the tenant, or going to a Rent Committee, if they disagree.

The point is that "the system" is offering me an extra £900 a year for simply filling in a form, with no risk that the tenant will leave because of it. What would you do?

Is the tenant likely to regain employment?

How would you feel about "stitching" them up with a 10%+ increase?

If the road sign says 60 do you drive everywhere at 60.

I must admit I find in interesting how student rents conveniently gobble up the basic student maintenance loan at the bottom end, private let and totally outstrip it in top end halls.
