Its always been the same with landlords, I remember back when I was renting I used to spend more that half my pay just on rent, it was like that across the board. I dont know if its like that now, if it is no wonder people cant get ahead.

A law which prevents any person, trust or organisation of any kind from requiring more than 1/4 of tenant's weekly income.Ahh but social housing runs by separate rules. I pay the max rent allowable for subsidised pensioner housing - 30% of gross primary income, which is why when that income goes up so does my rent. It is another petty meanness that disempowers us.
I bet there'd be a  few opting to leave the property market....
But hey, I'm blessed to have long term security, a safe roof, and a guaranteed income. There are so many without those basic life things these days.
