If the bedroom is truly surplus to requirements, and the tenant refuses to relocate to a more size appropriate property.
@Q57W564yrs4Y
unless they need the room if they are for instance disabled and cannot share a bed with their partner. Or need a carer to stay overnight
@Q4YHP54yrs4Y
Only if they refuse to move to a smaller property when these properties are available, currently not the case; insufficient housing stock available. Also if home has been adapted for disability then it is cheaper for tenants to remain without loosing benefit.
@Q3NXFX4yrs4Y
Yes, but only where similar appropriately sized accommodation is available, offered, and declined.
@Q3N3Z34yrs4Y
There should be no difference between those who rent from a coucil or a Land Lord
@PZNGHB4yrs4Y
No, this concept is immoral and based on far right views publicised in many right wing 'news' media and is factually incorrect. However more help should be given to help those who wish to move to a smaller property, which would then serve as an incentive too
