You're not above the law Alan. If you break the law, you should face the consequences. It's comments like yours that make me think that the decision as to who to let to should be partially taken out of landlords' hands. But again, if you do act like you intend above, hopefully someone will take you to court and use these comments to get compensation.

I'm sorry to hear about your loss Mike Dudley. I would be careful what you say because it may come back to haunt you.

Well if the courts rule on it and you continue to refuse to let to people on housing benefit, you end up committing an offence. It would take a brave tenant but you could be sued. So consider that a business decision, do you want to risk being sued.

There's nothing wrong with refusing to let to someone on affordability. If someone is likely to be unable to pay the rent, then you can refuse. The level of LHA in an area would come into this calculation. However, refusing to let just on the basis they're on housing benefit is clearly indirect discrimination, i.e- it's a blanket rule which adversely affects people because of who they are, be they disabled or single mothers in part time work etc.

They can choose but they cannot break the law. That's what this is all about. People who don't understand this should not be landlords.
