This is something that depends on individual circumstances; in some cases there are not available properties for people to move to. I do not support needlessly penalising individuals and it may be harmful to relocate people without just cause if they have lived in an area for a long time. However, if available properties exist people should be given the option to move into housing more suited to their circumstances.

 @9LK6Y63answered…2wks2W

No, depends on duration they have been residents and extended family situation. i.e. grandparents need spare rooms for visiting family, parents of university students retaining the child's room and parents who don't have custody of children but need to make provision for. Disabled people may need spare rooms for overnight carers.

 @9L2VYKManswered…1mo1MO

No if they are receiving disabled benefits. Many disabled need spare room but dont need overnight care everynight and are suffering and should not be forced to pay bedroom tax. Especially those suffering mental health who need a spare room for aomeone to stay to support mental breakdown

 @9JTN484answered…3mos3MO

Yes, however should actively receive help in the meantime from their housing association or council to downsize to a different property suitable to their needs. Abolish the bedroom tax.

 @9HKYK28SDPanswered…5mos5MO

Hard to see a simple answer to this one that wouldn’t either harshly penalise edge cases (eg where a household member has died) or give too much leeway to pisstakers. Would have to be case-by-case.

 @9FVKSV6answered…7mos7MO

Only if they're not using the rooms, at all. Some people have a lot of things that need space and it's unfair to assume they should either have barely anything to qualify or get rid of things.

 @9FDZHZNanswered…8mos8MO

Currently housing is poorly regulated and such rulrs will harm people's lives.

 @9FDMGNQanswered…8mos8MO

 @9D2TB3SConservativeanswered…9mos9MO

No, but they should have to move into smaller property (as long as local) if under occupying by more than one bedroom or if living in ground floor flat or bungalow and under occupying when not disabled. However, financial compensation should be given to cover moving, travel to view property and redecorating costs, and practical help with packing and unpacking should be offered to those who are disabled and also childcare for moving day. Any adaptions for disability or upgrades to provide equivalent facilities to what they already have should be done in advance of moving. Tenant must not be financially or practically disadvantaged for travel to work or school.

 @9BZC4GSanswered…12mos12MO

Yes, but only if suitable accommodation is made available and they are not disabled

 @99BMKKQanswered…1yr1Y

Yes, but only if they refuse to move to an available smaller property within a reasonable vicinity of their current home.

 @9BNNGH3answered…1yr1Y

No. There needs to be much more social housing available for a variety of differing needs,

 @9BNHQ7Danswered…1yr1Y

If its 2+ more spare bedrooms than yes but 1 extra bedroom they should keep the property.

 @9BMJCVDAnimal Welfareanswered…1yr1Y

No opinion on this - it is extremely context dependent and unfair to not provide such context.

 @9BH9999answered…1yr1Y

We should not have this kind of situation. If people are relying on the state to house them then there should not be spare bedrooms and children should share with siblings. Only if there is a medical reasons should this rule be varied.
We have a chronic shortage of social housing and need to ensure that decent, basic accommodation is available to all who need it but that luxury should be something that people work for

 @9BFWYPQanswered…1yr1Y

Yes, but only if there is a not a suitable smaller property available and there should be exceptions if one or more of the residents is disabled.

 @9B84XHJanswered…1yr1Y

We should help the poor under a Fascist like Monarchy. Allow some to shelter if they have too.

 @9B55Z4XConservativeanswered…1yr1Y

No, they should get benefits which are parallel to how many people live there

 @99QYDG8answered…1yr1Y

Any surplus more than extra bedroom per tenant should be taxed proportionately

 @99JQ3NXfrom Michigan answered…1yr1Y

 @99DHHB9answered…1yr1Y

 @99D64CKanswered…1yr1Y

 @96Q9GXZanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but only if they refuse to move to an available smaller property or allow another tenant to use the bedroom.

 @968WKHHanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes Under occupying might be discouraged. But should be consodered case by case, dignified support to move to agreed home

 @962RHGVanswered…2yrs2Y

no but we should all be given council housing if we cannot afford it

 @95WS752answered…2yrs2Y

Such tenants should be relocated at public expense if the property is required for larger families etc; only if such tenants refuse to move or if there are disabled family members present, should any exemptions be given.

 @9484TWZLiberal Democratanswered…2yrs2Y

No, provided that there is a reason for doing so (such as disabled family members).

 @93RTGPWanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but only if that property is needed elsewhere and they refuse to move

 @93K5XCDGreenanswered…2yrs2Y

No, because we don't have the right mix of accommodation so people are penalised through no fault of their own.

 @93HXDJ6answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, unless they need the extra bedrooms for children who live with another parent to be able to visit.

 @93FBJFNanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but only if they refuse to move to an available nearby smaller property

 @936WY66answered…2yrs2Y

No, but they should be encouraged to move to a smaller property where possible unless they moved into their current one with the right amount of people for rooms.

 @92RTNH8answered…2yrs2Y

 @92LVJ5Xanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but set it to set it to more bedrooms than the occupants + 1 to allow for guests or family visits

 @92KVTKQanswered…2yrs2Y

 @929W267answered…2yrs2Y

 @9274DGZanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes but only if they refuse to move to smaller property with exception of those with disabled family members

 @924YX9Yanswered…2yrs2Y

Housing (social) should be allocated yearly to the most needed people. If people want bigger then I they buy themselves

 @8ZMXB2Fanswered…2yrs2Y

Do away with counsil housing all together. They can go work and pay their own way.
