Is this the UK's cheapest rental property?
A landlord in Burnley is so fed up of tenants on benefit not paying their rent that he is marketing a Victorian 2 bedroom terrace house for as little as just £1 per calendar month to a responsible tenant. The character stone property on Branch Road has been left in poor condition by the last tenant who not only refused to pay rent but also 'trashed' the house before leaving. The landlord, Taylor Housing will put the house back into a lettable condition but expects the new tenant to decorate it themselves. Mark Taylor, owner of Taylor Housing says "We are marketing the property on the surerent.co.uk website that uniquely enables prospective tenants to bid for tenancies and we will rent it out to the highest qualifying offer, even if it is only £1 per calendar month. All they have to do is prove that they have a history of always paying their rent and have been good tenants elsewhere". If the scheme proves successful, the landlord has stated that he will make many more properties with cheap rents available.
