Welcome to our world (US).
My mortgage has gone up several hundred pounds.
A rent freeze is vital and shoul be backdated 3 or 4 years. Working just to pay a greedy landlord is not acceptable.
The host is ultra-hot. Name?
Jeremy Hunts loves a good hike in rental costs. Ask him why.
Bullshit it's way higher than just 100 a month I'd say minimum £200 a month more and that's if you have a landlord that isn't trying to take you for every penny which vast majority are, no more landlords more social landlords things break under social landlords they get repaired, rents are capped too so you ain't paying for landlords to take out there 8th house and turn it into a hmo bringing in well over 1600 depending on the amount of rooms they change into bedrooms
And they will still claim the miniscule pay rises are responsible for the inflation…
Its still rising you clowns
Lockdown inflation
Who is she
How much of the rent increases are due to higher mortgage interest rates?
In Scunthorpe, North Lincolnshire, houses which used to be £475-£500 a month immediately jumped to £695 a month.
This is in an area where many who's household incomes don't exceed £25k a year. Many who don't have a means of earning much who used to be on Universal Credit, has diminished to barely anything… and now the rents have increased.
It's a terrible thing hearing of the cruelty of Landlords and their increases on rent.
Mines £115 more then it was last year
They only started recording in 2015?
Stupidity
Gotta pay for immigrants to live in 4 star hotels
Tory propaganda the only reason inflation has gone down is because spending has gone down because they've made spending that expensive and 3.1% only means it's prices of rising 3.1% saliva then they were rising 10 12% a year ago surprises aren't going down they're just going up slower
thats tory evil for you.. and their comebacks are tiresome too.. all tories are narcissists!
