people who abuse the benifit system should be barred from recieving one.
people who abuse or cheat landlords should also be barred or punished and registered.

another problem is that the govt doesnt take alot of action against those who cheat the system, whether benifit fraud or abuse or investment property speculation.

i would be happy for a fairer system both ways which would leave room for the genuine investor landlord and an opertunity for low incomers (who do try to save) to get a home.
but as it stands low class properties are in demand from high income earners for the govt funded rents and cap gains and tax deferments.
