Housing benefit and local housing allowance renting privately

[angliastudent]

Hi, I am currently finishing my degree in Sociology at Anglia Ruskin University. As part of my research I would like to invite anyone who has either rented privately on benefits or currently lets or chooses not to let, a property to private tenants on benefits to fill in my short survey. You will be helping me very much with my research which you can have a copy of once finished! Thank you for your time. If you are currently a private tenant on benefits please click here : www.surveymonkey.com/s/LWG8P22. If you are a private landlord please click here : www.surveymonkey.com/s/LS982QG Thank you.

I've done the survey. Good luck with your degree

I used to be (c 2 years ago) on LHA in private sector.

I am now a Landlord (current tenants not on LHA but wasn't averse when letting).

Shall I do both?

Thank you so much for participating! survey is still open. all your time and effort is greatly appreciated.

Oh, and if you want more Landlord views, go and post over on www.landlordzone.co.uk

Thank you so much for that. Really excited to see all the results.

What's the title of your dissertation? Sounds interesting.

Thank you The title of my dissertation is: 'Inequalities in the private rental sector: Private landlords attitudes towards welfare recipients'

I too have answered both as I used to be a landlord and am now the other side of the coin.

Thank you for taking time in doing that for me. I really appreciate it.

Marking place to do tomorrow

Thank you for all your responses so far! Just a few more would be helpful, getting some really interesting results from both parties. All your time is greatly appreciated. If you have friends or family that have had a positive or negative experience with housing and benefits please do share the link for this survey.
