Spinning the roulette wheel
If you ever wonder why we as a nation are “obsessed” with home ownership when people happily rent for life in Germany and the Netherlands, consider the number of ways you can lose your home as a renter.
Even if you pay the rent on time, take care of the property, and learn your neighbours’ names, you can be forced to move if the landlord decides to sell up, raise the rent to a level you can’t afford, or just doesn’t renew the tenancy.
A new poll from BMG finds that 27% of current and former private renters have experienced an unwanted move.
