Let’s be real – renting is absolutely miserable at the best of times. First you find yourself in an all out bidding war to secure a flat in the first place and then you suddenly find yourself facing months of begging your landlord for basic repairs.
And when you do decide to pack up and leave, you can discover that your landlord has decided to keep your deposit (which is normally up in the thousands thanks to most setting theirs at the equivalent of six weeks rent).
And look – in some cases it’s fair, we’ve all been to that party flat that we breathe a sigh of relief we’re not living in.
