How long will it take before Shelter/Generation Rent/et al. will demanding "no guarantors". Eventually it'll be rent guarantee insurance which when I have to go down this route will be added to the rent plus 20% admin charge.

It's all part of the Plan to eliminate private Landlords from the PRS. “They" don't want a mass exodus as this would result major upheaval and instability. So the Plan is "death by a thousand cuts" with each cut resulting...

Spot on, and we'll said. Sadly, I suspect she she will get away scot-free because this is the way our corrupt Government operates - one rule for them and another for the rest of us.
