Renting is difficult and expensive enough in London without some unscrupulous so called landlords taking people for a ride. I'm researching the nightmares people encounter when renting, for The London Programme and I'd really like to talk to people who've been victims of letting scams.
Have you – or someone you know – handed over a deposit in good faith, only to find that that the ‘landlord’ doesn’t even own the property?
Or perhaps you had no idea that the place you rent is actually a council flat until the council came calling? Your ‘landlord’ gets done for illegal subletting and you’re back looking for somewhere to live.
Or here’s a new one – maybe you weren’t aware that your place was ‘live/work’. Some councils are now taking action against people who don’t use these places for work. Doesn’t seem fair if you never knew that in the first place.
The London Programme is an award winning prestigious current affairs documentary series.
Please contact me with any stories about the trials of renting in London on emma.gray@granadamedia.com,
or call me 020 7633 2851
Many thanks
