Hi Folks
I'd be interested to hear people's views on the banning of rent supplement recipients from a multi unit development.
There are obviously social and economic arguments involved.
Personally I'm undecided. To be blunt all of the social problems in the complex in question (e.g vandalism, theft, drug crime, late night parties, intimidation etc) are caused by tenants in receipt of rent supplement. However, such a move might be viewed as extreme and morally questionable by some. It may also irritate landlords who happily accept social welfare recipients.
I've seen ads on Daft which specifically state that "rent supplement recipients need not apply" but perhaps a more formal and general exclusion would cause legal issues?
The above isn't my idea but I'm interested to hear people's thoughts.
Thanks.
