hi my father is currently living in a council house which is due to get demolished, the council agreed to pay out four thousand pounds to each household for the hassle of re-housing them. the council have now turned round and said as my father owes them three hundred pounds in rent arrears he will not recieve any of the four thousand pounds! and they are also charging him for the fitted kitchen he put in even though the houses are going to get demolished. his friend who owes seven hundred pounds in rent arrears is still getting her money, just the rent arrears she ows is getting deducted from her moving money. how is this fair??? does my dad have a case to fight this or are the council well within their rights to do this to him? he has lived in that house for 10 years....longer than anyone on that street. will be very grateful for any opinions, thank you.x.
