London, your rental market is broken. Utterly broken.
This article is a bit of fun, but has a serious point.
Not one postcode in London is affordable on the london living wage anymore. As the property market continues to raise prices which wages are not matching, conditions are getting worse and worse.
Last month the TUC called for government action on a private housing sector, saying that young people were the ones suffering most from the crisis:
Consecutive governments have failed to meet the housing needs of young people, many of whom have been pushed into the private rented sector because of the shortage of housing -particularly social housing - and the un-affordability of homeownership. This has meant that young people under 35 - whether in work or not – are now the largest group (over 50 per cent) living in the private rented sector.
Yet the private rented sector lacks effective regulation and young people face high rents and poor-quality accommodation, often in unsafe housing environments, and insecure tenancies.
Housing is therefore one of the biggest challenges facing young people.
