The Home Office has launched a drive for landlords to house asylum seekers
following a surge in Channel migrant crossings. Serco, one of three private
contractors working for the Home Office, is offering landlords five-year
guaranteed full rent deals to house asylum seekers at the taxpayer's expense.

Landlords were invited to a Serco event at a four-star hotel in the Malvern
Hills next month, with the contractor saying it was “looking for” landlords,
investors and agents with properties in the North West, the Midlands and the
e east of England to lease for over five years.

the latest Home Office data showed that there were 38,000 asylum seekers
in hotels as at December last year, costing £5.5 million a day and up from
29,585 last June, just before the election.
