āTodayās landlords and lettings agents are lucky. In a world of direct debits and emails there is very little personal contact between them and their tenants. Gone are the days when tenants could mob the rent officer: todayās āproperty professionalsā can cower behind their laptop screens, safely watching the value of their assets grow. We do not think that situation is sustainable. Landlords should know this: for decades, you have taken our incomes and driven up the cost of homes. For decades, daytime TV shows have provided comfort by portraying you as benign adventurers in the bounteous terrain of the housing market. You have gained a vast amount of unearned wealth while we constantly face homelessness and poverty. You cannot expect us to treat you with courtesy or respect. If you try to evict us, we will protest outside your homes ā your secure, comfortable homes. It is in the nature of your grubby business that you make people homeless, and you have no right to complain when we kick against you.ā
