Isnt that what bonds and such are for?

I am not just talking about those on benefits, but everyone gets ripped off for properties in certain parts of the country.

As for 'moving benefits elsewhere an claim they cant afford to pay damage'..you would be extremely hard pushed to find a landlord who will take claimants on benefits without a guarantor.
