I lived next to a flat that was let to people on benefits and it was a stream of chav scum, beaten abused kids, loud music, trashed flat, threats of violence, drugs, police.
Oh and remember the government in their infinite wisdom is moving to giving rent to the tenant to then pay the landlord to help make them more responsible!!! Now that isn’t going to go wrong at all is it.
Oh and being that they will probably be kidded up to the max getting them out will be a massive drawn out affair while you suck up months with no rent.
I would never rent to anyone on benefits, especially with money not being paid directly in the near future.
Their are obviously good tenants on benefits but even those when faced with feeding their kids and paying rent will naturally get into rent arrears.
