its highly unlikly that that someone just starting new employment is going to be able to earn enough money to privatly rent or even buy their own home . Most jobs are minimum wage with not alot of hours. So unless these people can whip a few grand out of their arse to cover fees\deposites they will be saving for quite a long time.,especially if they want to buy.
tenants have a right to complain . All have a tenancy agreement and its Clearly states who is responsible for repairs. Tenants have to stick their side of the bargain with paying rent so sarh should do what they agreed to do and fix repairs in a timely fashion.
I get all that, and I agree that SAHR should fulfil their responsibilities, but this is the sort of thing that should motivate people to get a better job so that they could give themselves a choice on where they lived I know that there are a minority of people with disabilities who are unable to work and improve their situation, but it's not that hard to get a better job............bear with me

I worked in a shop, crap job, boring, treated appalingly by managers and customers, minimum wage pits of the earth job really. It was hindering my life choices, where I could live, holidays, the money I had in my pocket. So I went to college in the evenings, then to university, and got myself an education. I now work in IT getting good money that allows me have holidays and buy my own house. It can be done, good jobs earning good money are out there for people who start with no education. I'm a single parent, I had no support, no help from family, and it was bloody hard work but I was determined to better my life, and I have.
I'm not trying to be confrontational or hijack the thread, but if SAHR are so bad, there are alternatives, given they take a few years, but it is possible to get an education and a better job, to get on the housing ladder, particularly as Stafford is so cheap, relatively speaking, for houses. For less than 100K, you'd probably only need to earn 25 - 30K a year as a single person to get a mortgage. You don't get free double glazing, central heating or a new roof when you own though
