Private housing tenants from across income scales are
living in unsafe homes that fail to meet basic legal standards, a new report
has said. Rogue landlords are making billions of pounds from 700,000 private
rented homes in England with a category 1 hazard, the worst kind of problems,
which can include rat infestations, unsafe electrics, cold and damp. New
evidence from Citizens Advice today shows people from across society are
falling victim to unscrupulous landlords. The report Paying a High Price for a
Faulty Product shows 30 per cent of households living in unsafe privately
rented homes have an annual income of more than £30,000, with 18 per cent
earning more than £40,000 a year. Read more on the Citizens Advice website.
