It adds: “Can you contest the rent increase? And more tenant rights from repairs, damp to pets and disputes…” One Instagram user replied: “Great! I’m about to be a homeowner and a renter at the same time, as I did. I had to move for work.

“My daughter is a renter. She has a decent landlord who lets her treat the house as a home, BUT the rent is astronomical. She, her husband and three children are worried about the next rent increase because it may be beyond their means. What are you doing?” he asked for a second.

“I’m in the housing association (Livewest) there should be a law where we don’t pay 50% for new builds, they should get financial support from somewhere else to build them, I pay £126 a week (63 pounds for new build),’ another social media user wrote.

And another social media user responded saying: “Hi Martin, what was the result of the survey you took for financial problems? “It takes 30 seconds to see if you’re eligible” I haven’t heard anything since November though (the black horse) Thanks”
