How is she going to afford to pay her mate back £500 a month, PLUS her payment plan when she's just pretty much said she only gets paid £1000 a month?

Oh I know... it'll be the copious amount of add-on benefits she'll get as a single mum, and no doubt CSA from the "baby father".

It's amazing how many foreigners get evicted on this programme.

What's even more amazing is that people don't pay their rent, and already strapped councils have the bill of rehousing them.

Only in "Soft Touch UK".

oh yes, regional councils in Scotland recently wrote off millions of unpaid rent and council tax arrears , meanwhile the rest of us pay our debts like the total mugs we are.

are these the immigrants liberal lefties tell us who benefit our society ?
I'm failing to see it, that woman's unhealthy husband's nhs treatment could probably fund a new library or a health centre.

not often this happens but I did feel sorry for the struggling actor guy living in that pokey room [ did it say £600 a month ? } maybe it was because he was english and politely resigned to his fate unlike the mouthy polish mum and daughter combo, who could afford nice straighteners for her teeth but not to pay any rent for a year.

oh well, the landlord doesn't get his £10 000, and us british taxpayers have to pay for lodgings and benefits for this ungrateful brace of idle immigrants.

My feelings exactly. I felt so sorry for that poor man. He'd obviously fallen on hard times. That Polish girl and her mother I had nothing but anger about. How dare they think they can just stop paying rent and it won't matter. Mind you, you can say that about nearly all the defaulters! And the landlord still has a mortgage to pay.

drillbit - I know what you mean about feeling a little guilty watching the show. But bear in mind the vast majority of people have brought it on themselves.

I i thought the actor was paying £1200. Per month, and the landlord was kicking him out so he could triple the rent, greedy bar steward
The poor chap had been paying his rent, yet through no fault of his own, was being made homeless
When will the government do something to regulate these vermin who live the high life while their unfortunate tenants live in appalling conditions?

I think he meant the landlord wanted £1200 after he (actor) had left. So he'd have been paying about £400, which is all that poky room was worth. When I rented in the 70s and 80s rent was controlled and landlords couldn't just put it up, or only by a stated percentage. I think it was the Thatcher govt. that ended that particular piece of legislation.

Your right.

Before free market reforms introduced by Margaret Thatcher in the Housing Act 1988, local authority rent officers had the ability to negotiate significantly lower rents for private tenants.

Ah, the lovely Maggie. Champion of the people! You also had more security in your tenancy before 1988, if a landlord gave notice to quit you could just ignore it and they couldn't enforce it. i think that was all the work of a Labour govt. originally. But it didn't entice landlords to let property as they were so hamstrung. I rented a flat in West Kensington for £14 per week!

(I wish someone would correct the title of this thread!)

You could just ignore an eviction before 1988 and no-one could get you out? Thank God they got rid of that law, seems landlords have to jump through hoops even now just to get non-paying tenants out.

I honestly think rent control is going to need to be brought back, most private landlords are greedy buggers.
Where I used to live in upper Gillingham Kent my mortgage was £225,a month my neighbors either side were paying £700 plus silly money.

Well, as I recall, non payment of rent was just about the only reason they could repossess. if you had a rent book or paid an agent (which I did both) it was an open ended contract, with no termination date so landlord couldn't evict you at the end of any period of time. The 1988 law brought in the new tenancies but it didn't affect those already existing.

Presumably to only have a mortgage of £225 you must have bought when house prices were very low so you can't really compare modern rents.

Yes to be fair I bought my first house in 1994 for £27000 my mortgage was £80 a month. The £225 mortgage was my third house for which I paid £109000 but even so rent in that road are now £875 plus and the houses either side of my old one are owned by same people and I bet the rents have gone up, the cost of renting is just stupid,now ) I'm fine now personally I have no mortgage at all) but did feel sorry for people who CANT pay and get kicked out by bailiffs rent control is deff required
