Don't know why I ever watch Channel 5, it always makes me want to throw something at the telly.
Anyway, last night I saw a programme called "Slum Landlords, Nightmare Tenants". I've seen it before, and it's always the same story: Tenant hasn't paid rent for months, owes thousands, after a long struggle and many threats from tenant, landlords finally get their property back and it's completely trashed. Everything breakable broken, dog shit everywhere and all the rubbish piled up in rooms because they're too idle to use the bin outside.
AFAIK, these tenants (invariably on benefits) get their rent money paid to them, and they choose to piss the money away. Why isn't the money paid directly to the landlords? And why are the identities of these scumbags protected? There should be a database of bad tenants which prospective landlords can consult before handing over their keys.
