To be pissed off at housing tenants

[Pssedoffathis]

To be pissed off at this
We live in a nice area, there isnt much available to rent. The last 4 bed was 4500 a month that came up 2 months ago.
We were renting at 3000 a month an older house but it needed work and the landlord decided to sell so we moved out and living in a temporary small flat further away from kids schools waiting and waiting for 6 months for a house to come up.
We have heard from several friends that in the area the council have moved a problem family in to a large house in one of the roads. They dont work, 4 kids, police round all the time, stolen car crashed into a lampost, kids out the front screaming, teen age boy being arrested.
Anyway, these absolute scummers are living for free in a house we would love..
Whilst I am paying 40 percent tax and effectively homeless with 2 kids. Waiting for a house to come up that I can afford as 4500 is out of budget and property is scarce.
I am basically paying for these people to live in a house i can not afford to live in myself.
Am I a Mug? Should I move countries?
What is the fecking point in working anymore.

Her view, not mine. It’s utterly vile and there’s only one scum and that’s her.

Yes she is

And if push came to shove, she would definitely kick that family out to house her own family...

It costs around £50k-£60k pa to keep someone in prison, so that would be bloody expensive.

You can get low life anywhere - I’ve known some that actually owned their home, or rented privately.

Social housing, nowadays, is based on perceived need. If you’re registered for social housing , it’s just that they have greater priority than you. 🤷‍♀️

😂😂😂

Okay then.

Nails and an XL bully?

And a "free PIP car" because all their kids have ADHD.

Perhaps there could be a drop down box for aggressive antisocial cunt on the application form.

And this

I feel a bit late to this. What is the goat and benefits thing about?

More housing points are awarded for owning a goat

That's what they said, i'm not sure how many they turned down but the children's needs and it having to be suitable for their dog ruled several out.

Nasty

Sounds like some may have been ruled out for genuine reasons then regarding their children's needs, not just because they fancied a bigger house with lakes.

I could only bid for certain properties based on my child's needs too but I was very careful about placing a bid as I knew it was almost certain that I'd be offered it due to my banding priority and accepted the first house I bid on.

Again bollocks - unless it's a guide/assitance dog there is no provision for what's suitable for a pet in the housing allocation rules.

A 6 bed luxury barn conversion? Well, I live in social housing, worked all my afult life, and I’ve worked in social housing, for years, so I wouldn't get too upset.

That type of social housing is rarer than hens teeth….in fact, do leave off. 😂😂😂

@dontletmedownbruce How do you know (or claim to) quite a lot about your NDNs working hours/shifts or whether the one of them goes to the gym or are 'summing' themselves in the garden - when you are working all hours?

Their country of origin is not relevant

And therefore personally responsible for the commodification of housing.

<slow clap>

Neither have I, and I worked in homeless prevention and resettlement for many years, in a city and 3 different borough/district council areas.

I’m aware of how often they are at home because I live next door to them, I can hear them through the poorly soundproofed wall all day, and my husband is retired so he’s here more often than me. x

Country of origin isnt relevant but should be, as NI contributions are supposed to pay for benefits.

Eh, so you own a house which you are renting out, you’re earning enough to pay 40% tax and pay a ridiculous amount of rent each month and you think you’re the one that’s hard done to?

I completely agree, evict the scummer family so they all starve on the streets and you can waft between the house you own, the old house that the scunners used to live in and your new rental. Excellent 👍

I am basically paying for these people to live in a house i can not afford to live in myself.

This makes no sense either. You could afford to live there until the landlord decided to sell it (their decision). You’re actually just making this up now.

Besides which you also have the option of selling your other house to buy somewhere too- which I imagine isn’t something available to the “scummer” family.

Turkey teeth and a crushed velvet grey sofa!

And 'Live Laugh Love' decorations.

Well thank you for the correction. The OP seems to show more consideration for her own tenants than for the people she assumes are "scummers". How very lovely of her.
