Being on benefits or housing benefit is not a protected characteristic so private LL can decide they don't want to rent to them.
I have had tenants on benefits and working tenants and been shafted by both.
BUT if I were to have another on housing benefit I would insist the rent be paid directly to me from the council. Saves any hassle with the bulk of the rent.

Would you rent a house to someone who was not working and claiming benefits
Emmie , knowing that after a few months they stop paying rent to you , and it will cost you a lot of money to get them evicted ,as well of months of no rent, and also the cost of refurbishing after they have gone ,and left your property is *** state . Been there got the T shirt.

It's not just people who are out of work that get housing benefit.
85% of housing benefit is paid to people who are in full time work but earn a level of wage that still qualifies them for housing benefit.
The problem was discussed on the program. Housing benefit rates are falling well behind rents. Even a single room in a shared house in London rents for over £200 a week, housing benefit pays only £60 or so of that.

very very difficult
LHA is paid direct to the tenant and then passed onto the Landlord to teach the tenant budget skills
wonderful idea
about 50% LHA tenants get kicked out for rent arrears

Have sympathy for both genuine decent folk on benefits not being able to find accommodation and landlords not wanting to risk stress and expense. Landlords are not a charity. If legislation was passed to force them to take any tenant how many would get out of the business leaving a glut of difficult to sell homes on the market and a massive deficit of homes for rent ? It's a pity authorities like to bribe council tenant voters with 'blatant privilege to buy cheaply at taxpayers expense' legislation, which loses the community much of the needed publicly owned housing stock which used to exist especially to solve the issue.
