I hate this. It’s becoming more and more difficult for people to rent - a basic need - because of these stupid kind of rules.
I have proof I have always paid my rent on time. I have proof of my income. I should not have to prove I have 50x the rent annually to rent a basic one bedroom flat.
It actually angers me. I don’t feel landlords have any right to be in your bank account like that.
Yes yes, I know you can just go to someone else. That just drives people lower and lower to landlords who are possibly more dodgy. The ‘market’ doesn’t always work out.
