More than 200,000 women subjected to ‘sex for rent’ offers by predatory landlords, research finds
The shocking figures come from Generation Rent and Mumsnet, who asked women about their experiences of predatory landlords.
That fact is clear in the figures. While the overall number of women falling victim to sex for rent offers was one in 20, the number jumped to one-in-ten amongst women whose annual household income was less than £20,000.
“This is stuff that should not be happening in the UK, but more and more people are making these sorts of choices to try and feed their children." “Both times the landlord has used my poverty to ask for sex/make lude comments, knowing I depend on a reference from him to move elsewhere” Campaigners say the wording of the law makes getting a conviction extremely difficult, because victims must self-define as ‘prostitutes’ to get justice.
