They would not transfer from RAS to HAP. They would probably transfer to the other local authority list either through RAS or another means. We will examine it, because it is a genuine issue.

The issue of landlords stating in advertisements for rental properties that no students or rent allowance recipients need apply has been raised. I will have to get legal advice.

The fact that I suspect landlords will find ways around it does not mean we should not try to address it.
