Would you move into a flat a friend had to move out of because rent became too high?

173 Posts
A friend's landlord in London has adjusted her rent upwards and she can now no longer afford it. It is in a nice quiet area and in a cachement area for a good school. It is a very nice flat and recently redecorated (that was the clue the landlord had plans for the place...) She is a single parent and has lived there for the whole of her daughter's life and is very upset at having to move out. She has been given a few months notice and it is all legal.
She is very upset at having to move out.
You need to move to that area because of a new job. You are a married couple and with your combined income earn more than her and can afford the prices and are willing to pay a premium for the area and the school cachement.
Would you move into that flat? If you were the friend moving out would you feel like your friend was rubbing you nose into it by moving in?
