These landlords aren’t rich people. They have mortgages to pay. No one has the right to lie and cheat to get properties and then live for free. The pressure to re-house homeless people should be the council and homeless charities. It’s not up to homeowners to re-house people for nothing.

In England squatting in private residential property became a criminal offence in about 2012 so squatters often turn to commercial properties instead as on the one with the solicitor helping get them squatters out. It is appalling people don't pay rent. Many landlords earn less than their tenants even and have to pay their own mortgage. They should start by removing the iphones some of these tenants have to sell them for say £800 towards £11,000 of rent owed. Then move to their jewellery and car if they own one and other possessions, but instead they seem to disappear and never pay.

Those guys squatting in the warehouse were taking the piss - if they can afford all that expensive gear, they could have easily used the money to rent a place instead - they were just wanting free accommodation so they could spend their money on what they wanted.

That’s the issue with some letting agents like the two women at the end of the program. They are so busy trying to catch people out and clearly getting off on all the drama.

I don't understand how that lady was let in when she hadn't even signed a lease. What kind of idiot lets a person into a shared house without making them sign a lease first? I don't think he actually has a case since she doesn't have a lease that says she's supposed to be paying...

It doesn't matter what the mortgage is. Renting out property is a for-profit enterprise. Properties require the mortgage to be paid as well as other expenses related to that property. Income from rental property is also subject to income tax. When the renter agreed to rent the property they agreed to pay rent. Landlords are not in the business of providing homes for free! If the situation was reversed and you owned the property how long would you allow tenants to live in it without paying rent and you paying all the associated expenses? Even if you weren't struggling I doubt you would allow them to live there indefinitely and I seriously doubt you would allow them to leave without paying you your back rent!
