There is another issue with the rent supplement scheme with a tiny minority. I would not even measure it. There are issues of anti-social behaviour from tenants. Not only do they become repeat offenders, but the same landlords end up cropping up constantly. Such tenants have given the rent supplement a bad name which is completely unwarranted and they have given the greater number of landlords in the private rental sector a bad name which is completely unjustified and unwarranted. While being fair, what type of procedures is the Department bringing in to ensure that it does not have this tiny cohort destroying it for everybody else?
