About Me

RenterGirl
I write about everything to do with renting and the buildings tenants live in. Thirty percent of the UK population live in rented accomodation. There are roughly one million landlords in the UK. We didn't all make it onto to the property ladder. We don't all have a dream home. We move from rented flat to rented flat, dealing with lazy landlords, and neighbours, good and bad. We endure the tribulations of newbuild housing complexes, and the insecurity of never knowing how long you can stay in one place, or indeed, if you want to. I used to live in Dovecot Towers (so called because it's built stacked up like a dovecot. 'Nice Heights', was great, but I've moved again. I am currently on a sort of research tour. I hope you enjoy this blog, and thank you for reading. Although please be aware - anything using words to the effect '...why not move?' will not be published, as they are missing the point somewhat. NB: Please - if you post a comment about your renting woes, could you let me know how the story ends? Any ads/spam hidden in, or disguised as, comments are deleted.
