Nightmare landlords: 'The rent on our decrepit home went up £75, and then we were evicted' - Telegraph
When Karen Daye moved into a privately rented home in Swindon last year, it appeared to be in good working order.
But before long she discovered sinking floor boards, loose electric wires near a water leak and a poorly-installed shower that was unsafe to use.
Instead of addressing these issues, the landlord demanded an extra £75 a month in rent, mid-contract, and then evicted Ms Daye when she refused to pay.
