Thousands of tenants live in council houses even though they earn more than £100,000 | Mail Online
Under plans being drawn up, they are to be hit with demands to pay the market rate or move out – a change which would save the taxpayer more than £100million.
Most are expected to decide to leave their properties rather than agree to massive increases in what they pay, since they could probably expect to live in better areas if they were paying the market rate.
Almost a fifth of council households – some 720,000 – earn more than the national average wage. For some London properties, tenants would have to pay £70,000 a year more than they are charged at the moment if they were renting their homes on the open market.
Ministers believe voters will be ‘staggered’ to learn that people on such high incomes enjoy council homes subsidised by the taxpayer.
