Almost half of the UK's private landlords have plans to
increase rents this year, a survey has revealed. According to house share
website SpareRoom.co.uk, four in 10 (42%) UK landlords will be increasing their

priority. And 5% told the survey that they actually plan to decrease their
rental costs in 2014. Read more on 24dash.
