This country needs to put a cap on how much a Landlord can charge for rent.
Because some Landlords are basically scamming their tennants.

Definitely I'm renting privately and it's a complete nightmare.

…this is very sad, very scary, very wrong and how families can so easily become seperated…I hope there is some immediate intervention and that Carly is able to keep her children together in their family unit…

She should drag the kids over to Calais, row back in a dinghy and get a free house.

Why's she got 6 kids when she can't even afford one?
Hope social services rescue those kids and she can sofa surf by herself. |

Well she needs to go straight to the Council offices or look for somewhere with cheaper rent...
Where is the father/s...no mention. |

The even bigger issue here is that in many cases, it's not even a matter of money. Rental availability is shocking with often dozens, if not hundreds, "competing" for a place to stay... so money totally out of the equation... if your landlord decides to sell up/dies/something happens to your house like structural damage in a storm that they can't afford to fix... you might end up without a home for some amount of time EVEN IF you have plenty of money for rent. There might simply be nowhere to rent.
We wavered over whether to go ahead and buy or just continue renting but rent a bigger/nicer place for years, wondering if it would be better to keep the flexibility of being able to move around that you have (or SHOULD have) with renting, but have now been looking to buy exclusively because after going for a couple of nice rentals in the area and failing to get them, we looked into it and found out that the last one we looked at and applied for had 108 applicants. One hundred and eight!! We're not even particularly close to the bigger population centres... it's mental. And then we realised, if our current rental (which is too small anyway) was to unexpectedly fall through like for one of the reasons above... we'd be in a pretty bad situation, because it turns out, you can't just go and rent somewhere else any more. Meanwhile house prices continue to drop and we have a massive deposit saved because our current rent is, to be fair, absolutely rock bottom - they haven't upped it a penny since 2014 ![]() Last edited by user104658; 16-08-2024 at 11:41 AM. |

We've been looking to buy for 18 months now, still holding out for the "perfect one" but ending more and more towards "will accept close-enough" ... while we're restricted by school transport area etc. I don't think we're ever going to get ideal house + ideal location. But ideally, once we've bought I don't particularly want to move again

She was allocated rooms that day, so no sofa surfing needed.
Just as well as it would have to be a bloody big sofa for seven people. |

Is whatever happened between her and the father(s) the children's fault?
She probably is a prick, but that doesn't mean her kids deserve to be split up and sent to different foster homes or whatever.
