Is this something anyone can use? If I’m renting through agency, what are my options?
But £2,500 a month! Rent!
Fuck me.
That is almost 3x my mortgage on the south coast.
London may have more jobs but I don’t know if they will pay 3x as much.
10% London weighting is best I can do you
Then wtf is the point of moving to London? I know someone obsessed with it and yet they never seem to find jobs that pay much more than everyone else is on. +£150 a month pay, -£600 car, fuel, maintenance? Lol ok.
The whole of the south east is only worth living in if A you we born here so the emotional cost of moving is too high or B you’re a banker wanker.
Welcome to London. Please enjoy your £8 pint while you overcome your rent shock.
A corporate landlord’s attempt to raise rent by £17.92 a month has backfired spectacularly after a tribunal forced the firm to instead charge its tenant £210 less.
London-based buy-to-rent firm Get Living was ordered to cut the monthly charge from £2,560 to £2,350 in August after tenant Davide Martinelli took his case to a first-tier tribunal.
Martinelli’s contract had a “rent review clause” under which rent could be increased with inflation, but such clauses were abolished under the Renters’ Rights Act, the tribunal noted. It then went further and ruled that the amount he was already being charged was above market rates.
It is the eighth time a landlord has been made to reduce rent after trying to increase it since the act came into force in May. On average, tribunals have ordered a reduction of £58 a month, according to industry advisory firm LonRes.
Get rekt parasites
It’s a start.
