I watched Phil Spencer's programme where he tried to find homes for two sets of homeless people with dismay at their plight but also horrified that tenants rights seem to have become so eroded. I worked in a Housing Association in the 90's (albeit managing their nursing and care homes but on the overall Board) and tenants rights were absolutely paramount. I haven't kept up with the legislations but I was astounded to hear that the young mother in the programme had been living as a successful tenant in her home for 17 years when a property developer bought her home and the others in her street and decided to evict them all so he could develop the area thus making her homeless surely that cant be right. In the second case a lovely young couple both working (low wages) and not claiming benefit were paying the council £900 a month for a rat, mice and cockroach infested damp and leaking flat. What has happened to tenants rights?
Have any of you got all electric cars? Pros and cons please.
