yet they don't have anything to say about the drain on the economy that this running tap of rent supplement seems to have on the system.
The price the State pays Landlords to house S/W tenants also allows the state to pass on big item costs it would have to carry if it were to act as their Landlord.
It no longer has to provide 24 hour maintenance,insurance,chasing after or collecting rents,replacing and repairing plumbing electrics,washing machines etc....this responsibility is passed onto the Landlord,meaning a big saving for the State...
but this is not often apparent or indeed commented on when people speak about rent allowance and private Landlords.

That's not the point here.
Please take the time to read posts before jumping in feet first,I was replying to the tired cliche that rent allowance paid by the State to private Landlords is not without considerable benefit to the State

If the flow of money was the other way (ie from the private sector to the state) and cuts were proposed, we would have all the usual suspects on here bleating about the reduced spending in the economy as a result.
I don't really understand this point.
Hi Sunny,
It is an off-point comment. If cuts to social welfare were proposed, for example, it would be argued that this would result in less money being spent in the economy. Therefore it could be argued that reducing the amount of money paid to landlord would result in less money being spent in the economy by them. Don't get me wrong..I think landlords should be paid the market rate for rentals by the state.
