Hi everyone what are people's views on people under occupying there council homes , I no of a couple of people that are over 65 that live in 4 bedroom houses by there self they have to pay no rent the state of the houses are disgusting as they are to fragile to clean the houses they are in surley the council should In force a law that just because these people have lived in these houses for years dosent mean they should keep them they both have 3 spare bedrooms just sitting there shouldn't they be made to downsize ?? To a 2 bedroom or something it's not fair that these young couples with 3 -4 kids have to keep them in a flat with no garden while these oaps can't Evan take care of them selfs properly let alone a massive house !!

Perhaps young couples shouldn't have 3-4 dc when they live in flats with no gardens?

I agree with Oldlady. It was their choice to have so many children in such a small place. Do they just expect to be given a bigger house because they can't stop breeding?

When you are able to spell, use grammar, construct a sentence that is comprehensible, do come back and posit an argument.

Is someone a little bitter perhaps?

The rules are changing, and people will be made to downsize.

I don't understand what age has to do with it.

Wasn't there a similar thread last year, or maybe in 2010? I remember it turned into a bun fight.

YANBU to think it, but there are lots who'll ball you out for posting it.

Nice, OP. Look, this topic has been done to death several times and you're really not adding anything, fancy phone or not.

I'm not saying these old people should be chucked out from there houses they should be givern main priority of we're they would like to live for example bungerlos or maisonettes these people I'm talking about cannot keep the up keep of there property's there smelly there dirty I think the council should give them money for any rooms they are downsizing I just think there should be a law that If you are a single person 1 spare bedroom is defiantly enough

Bungerlos? Seriously?

Why do you assume they pay no rent?

Why are you so rude?

So many questions.

Do you have specific people in mind, or are all over-65s smelly, dirty and incapable of looking after themselves?

OAPs are exempt from the new rules regarding under-occupying and bedroom tax and tenancy reviews, Natasha.

We lived in a flat with no garden with 3 kids and now with 2. Imagine that!

'I'm not saying these old people should be chucked out from there houses they should be givern main priority of we're they would like to live for example bungerlos or maisonettes '

Where are all these bungalows? How are they to manage stairs in a maisonette?

Why is it the council's job to provide people with 3-4 children a house with a garden?
