Description: An intervention into private renting in the UK, including corruption, inequality and deregulation

Brief description: Rosie Walker writes on housing, poverty, employment rights and debt. She was formerly a researcher for London School of Economics, University of Bristol, and University of Brighton, and was a journalist for the Independent.

Review Quotes: "Walker and Jeraj's survey of life for those who rent their homes from private landlords aims to rally tenants to seek change. Stories of households at the sharp end of high rents, poorly maintained homes, thuggish landlords and predatory estate agents are backed up by statistics, history and law to paint a picture of a failing sector."-- "Times Literary Supplement"
