Landlords have a duty of care to ensure there are no vermin in a rental property before a tenant moves in. No tenant wants to be sharing their home with an army of cockroaches, rats, bedbugs or fleas.
A landmark ruling in a case backed by Shelter has ruled ads stating ‘NO DSS’ tenants are unlawful. The case was pursued through the courts by a disabled single mother who ended up homeless when a letting agent refused to accept her because she was on housing benefit.
A new university term is just around the corner. In two short months, millions of students might be leaving the bosom of their families and heading to university.
