Was in Paisley today and saw some wee kid wandering Ruel Street looking for his maw. Hope he made it home okay.

I thought Ruel Street was in Mount Florida?

Its where hard c***s (like me) beat up internet geeks in front of their parents, as far as I understand it.

Not sure why, it didnt seem ideal for the purpose as I crossed it.

Glad you made it safely across the road but you really should ask a grown up for help.

People take issue with it because in many cases it impacts negatively on those who are less well off.

I'm sure there are many good landlords out there but ultimately the system is allowing the wealthy to profit out of the misfortune of others.

When I found myself in position marriage ending, I had to go onto housing benefit, which you can't use to pay you're own mortgage so I had to move out.

However many private let's state no DSS so you are left looking at total shit holes or luckily like I have done in my two places people who are renting without agent or clause in mortgage, who are willing to accept not all single mums on benefits are scum.

In the 6.5 years that I've been claiming it's never risen, the flat I used to rent was £600 when it went back on the rental market at Christmas I noticed it was upto £700. 

I top up my housing by nearly £300 as it's near on impossible get three beds for £500.

Not for much longer, thankfully. Whether being banned from advertising that fact will actually change things and people will be allowed to look and rent whilst on DSS etc remains to be seen.

Yeah I don't think anything will change, they'll just say someone more suitable etc etc.

Won't they still find out when they ask for bank statements or an employer's reference?

Yeah, they'll know but they're not actively allowed to write "won't consider DSS/Unemployed" so more people will have to be vetted first and foremost without prejudice - if its held against them after that there's not really much that can be done.

Well if anything it'll encourage letting agents and landlords to get more creative with turning down benefit claimants then

Can't disagree with that. I'd hope that by meeting the people first or having to pay (do they?) to check people finances etc, they'll give people a chance rather than just seeing "universal credit" and fucking them off.

For someone being on DSS, does that not mean their rent is paid for them?

I *think* UC get theirs paid up to a certain amount. Its more to do with the stigma of benefits = scum.
