For Rent: Rooms Under the Radar
For Rent: Rooms Under the Radar
Thousands of people across London are thought to be living in unlicensed Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) - properties where three or more unrelated people share bathrooms and kitchens. Reporter Tarah Welsh meets tenants living in overcrowded and illegal homes - including those without contracts, privacy, or proper facilities. She hears from a man who lived in a two-bed flat with 20 others where a fatal fire broke out and from a family of four squeezed into one room in another property. Digging deeper, she uncovers how some landlords are profiting while breaking the law
For Rent: Rooms Under the Radar airs on BBC One London at 8:00 PM, Friday 1 August. (Subtitles, new.)
