These London renting horror stories are all due to the cost of living crisis.
If you’re a private renter, chances are you have seen your rent increase in the last month or two just as the general cost of living soars. In a market dominated by wealthy landlords and - currently in England - no such thing as rent caps, the renting situation, particularly in London, is going utterly wild.
But what’s the actual impact on renters in the private sector? For many, myself included, forking out a couple of extra hundred a month is troubling amidst the cost of living crisis, but it also seems the lesser of two evils when you consider the horror stories coming from people who are being priced out of their flats and forced to find somewhere new to live these hostile times.
‘I did a virtual viewing for a house without a kitchen. The landlord explained how he'd "converted a room into a cooking area"... there was a microwave and a plug-in hotplate in the cupboard under the stairs that he couldn't stand up in because it was so small. It was £850pcm.’growing trend first reported in Cosmopolitan in 2017
The options are clear: cough up far more than you can afford for adequate accommodation, or settle for dangerous or untenable living conditions. And as these stories indicate, many are forced to do both.
