The Home Office has launched a drive for landlords to house asylum seekers following a surge in Channel migrant crossings.
Serco, one of three private contractors working for the Home Office, is offering landlords five-year guaranteed full rent deals to house asylum seekers at the taxpayer’s expense.
Could be a deal actually:
They are promised rent paid “on time every month with no arrears”, full repair and maintenance, free property management and utilities and council tax bills paid by Serco.
How much does some 2 up 2 down in Darlington cost anyway?
