    MOST UK adults are on receipt of one benefit or other, growing since covid19.

    About 1 million working people get some HB or UC/HE to assist with rent.

    Artful: landlord, 72, in receipt of 6 benefits you generous taxpayers you.
    You're welcome

    Tenant, 35, in receipt of 0 benefits :)
    Do you pay into a pension?
  • Of course, I understand there's a process to follow - but landlords shouldn't be forced to keep the business going with endless legislation if they want to quit. 
    Once the adequate notice is provided properly, they should be able to remove the tenant - which is what I understand is fine from the legislation. The landlord simply shouldn't have to spend thousands to change their own property in ways they don't want to. 

    It seems they just can't refuse to adapt the property but keep the tenant anyway (which is correct).

    Regardless if I do or not, that is supplemented by my employer. Now you could say I get a tax break, but that is not administered the same as a benefit.

    Tax relief on pension contributions is a benefit paid by the state, which kind of makes it a ‘state benefit’. How that gets administered is irrelevant.
