With the money the Government pays private Landlords they are encouraging them to buy up all the cheep properties and rent them out. This has the effect of reducing the properties available and rents rise.
If the Government limited rent to the cost of a mortgage plus reasonable expences the Landlords would soon sell up and properties would come back onto the open market.
