It's the former. Social housing tenants in under-occupied house get less housing benefit. That's why they're having to pay more.

Is this a regular house where the tenants are on benefits, or a special council house where the council allocate people to the house?

In the former case, you're a bit stuffed in this sort of situation or even if someone leaves home - you basically have to move?

Family to be charged £650 a year by council for keeping seven-year-old daughter's bedroom as a shrine after she died of cancer | Mail Online

Should the reduction in benefits apply to this distraught family?

Ah, so they're not being 'charged'. The rent is the same as it always was. They're entitled to less housing benefit because they no longer have their daughter. Very sad, but I don't think it's wrong.

Seems fair enough... If it was a room in their house they can do what they want with it. Problem is it isn't their house.
