    Because this is the accomodation forum, not the dolebashing forum.

    I wasn’t dolebashing.. maybe if the OP and the tenant spent as much time on the internet asking about whether their landlord will accept welfare, maybe they might not need it :rolleyes:

    Did you even read the op? Telling someone to go get a job isn't helpful. Cop on.

    EITHER get on to housing list OR be renting privately for 6 months

    He has only been renting in this house since February so it seems he may be refused in any case :eek:

    Why would a landlord be reluctant to take someone that is receiving rent allowance as a matter of interest?
    Rent is generally paid a the start of the month. If they don't pay rent, the landlord gives them 14 days notice, and then 28 days notice.

    With RA, it's paid at the end of the month, and is dependant on the tenant paying their share to the CC.

    If it gets stopped, the LL won't be told.

    Does the tenant have to continue paying the rent until the HAP application is sorted
    Yes. If not, he'll evicted. Promises of money means jack, unless the tenant is renting in an area with a load of empty rentals.
