A pig will make a sty of any home - terrace or palace - and a pig does not have to be on benefits to be a pig, but he will always be a pig whether he is on benefits or not.
Tenants who are not pigs will treat any house as their own and look after it, whether it is a terrace house or a palace, and whether they are on benefits or not.
As in all matters, it is the type of person not his circumstances which defines what kind of tenant a person is.
You have been unfortunate Truth, and my sympathies and empathy (having experienced the same) is with you.
