When a woman complained on Twitter that she was charged £150 by her landlord for ‘dust on a lampshade’ on vacating a property, hundreds of other aggrieved tenants sent in their tales of woe.
They moaned about deposits withheld, black mould, filthy bathrooms, broken showers, faulty appliances and sky-high rents.
On reading their endless grumbles, you might think the country consists of horrible, uncaring landlords who exploit their poor tenants at every turn.
