A controversial model of property investment being promoted by TikTok users is allowing criminal landlords to evade the law, renting campaigners have warned.
So-called property influencers are using the social media platform to promote a form of subletting known as rent-to-rent to novice investors as a way to get-rich-quick without owning a single property.
In TikTok videos, young wannabe property investors are being told they can quickly “turn £3,000 into £60,000” using the model, but letting agents have warned they are being sold a “pipe dream”.
