    Its possible when the couple applied and got the council house they were in need and now they are not. The council do not throw people out of their houses when circumstance improve....
    They do however increase the rent significantly.

    They probably applied at a time when their incomes were lower.

    It seems strange. Almost everybody I know who is in council housing really was in need - i.e. on welfare and mouths to feed, at the time of their original application. Its possibile they may have been living in a parents house which would be considered unsuitable housing.
    Also good possibility of local councillors messing with the housing queues - 2 of those I know of sadly said they would not have got housed at all had they not pestered their councillors through relatives and friends who had "pull." (Which before you start probably indicates that they were probably previously denied housing through others doing exactly the same thing).
