MANY tenants of Oxford landlords live in abject poverty – some unscrupulous landlords encourage their hard-pressed tenants to fill out housing benefit forms stating that they pay more rent than they actually do.
This extra cash – which comes from the taxpayer – is then shared out between the two parties.
This is a common practice.
