💨 Abstract

A TikToker shared an estate agent's email with "hilarious tips" for securing a rental, including offering above the asking price, paying upfront rent, and writing a bio. Harriet criticized the demands as out of control, and others agreed. The Renters’ Rights Bill, soon to be law, will prohibit many of these practices, aiming to make the rental market fairer. The article also briefly discusses the acceptability and potential legality of various strategies mentioned by the estate agents.
