Answer 1

Well, for starters, Torquay is a VERY popular place and attracts all kinds of people, especially professionals. This means landlords have a choice in the market. Why choose a single mother with a child (high risk), when you can choose a young professional with a good career (low risk) who may even be able to afford more? Anyone on benefits is a  statistical risk to a landlord, as it is common knowledge that people on benefits are more likely to experience problems and not pay the rent.

Answer 2

Most landlords in Tor bay, don't want the unemployed.  Or when you are working the wages are so low that you can't get a decent accommodation.
