i like the biscuit crumbs excuse
our last landlord tried to take money out of our deposit because there was a bit of dust on top of a light switch

Not from your ivory tower of Landlord forums, Tory conferences, and right wing rags perhaps. Visit the real world:On housing, Corbyn’s policies align with the wish list of almost anyone hit by the housing crisis: lift the housing revenue account cap to allow councils to build council and social housing (a manifesto pledge also endorsed by Andy Burnham), longer tenancies, private landlord registration, rent regulation and private rents linked to average local earnings. “It has become clear that when housing provision is left purely to market forces most of our young people simply cannot afford to get a foot on the rung of the market’s so called housing ladder,” Corbyn said.
