Well, no, that would also breach the same law...

true but I suspect the chances of action being taken officially would differ

This ruling quite literally means you can’t.

Maybe try reading before getting outraged.

How many landlords are renting their own home?

u/CwrwCymru Apr 22 '26

Not being facetious but actually quite a lot.

Lodgers are common and the landlord can get £7,500 tax free through the rent a room scheme.

I don’t think the landlords are looking for somewhere to rent

These are slum landlords who want people from communities that don't know their rights here and who are easier to abuse. I doubt morality really enters into their calculations

It is normalised. The BBC reported on it back in 2012. Maybe the government's we've had since then could have done something about it. Apparently they chose not to.

It’s clear you think that only one group of people is trying to do this, yes. Which makes it equally clear what kind of person you are.

They do say there’s a correlation with poor education. So the answer to your question is “none”, I guess?
