Safer Renting devise training programme for Met Police officers on dealing with Illegal Evictions
One perennial problem facing tenants in the throes of being harassed or illegally evicted, is calling the police only to be advised that disputes between landlords and tenants are civil matters and not a problem that police can resolve.
Case Study: Rogue Landlords in Action
Our staff here at Safer Renting are used to visiting buildings with appalling living conditions, but were surprised recently when we were called to a prime property in central London with an exclusive address. Viewed from the outside, you might assume that it housed bankers or art dealers.
Once inside, any such notions disappeared before we’d even closed the front door:
