'This is the first in-depth look at the corrupt and destructive world of private renting, and how we can resist it. Eleven million people in Britain rent their homes from private landlords. With house prices skyrocketing, home ownership is impossible for many. This is the rent trap, an inescapable consequence of market-induced inequality. Yet nearly one third of British MPs are landlords. Deregulation and revenge evictions are daily realities for millions of private tenants. Rosie Walker and Samir Jeraj expose the powers which are conspiring to oppose regulation and erode tenants' rights. Complete with a handy guide on how to take your landlord to court, this book shows how to fight back.'
