On BBC1 now.

Landlords move in to their rented properties to see what it's like for their tenants. Looking at the trailers this should be interesting.

Landlord, the young one, already has an attitude problem.

It was horrible when he was talking about putting up the rent by £100.

They have to live on the same amount as the tenants. A nice little twist for them.

The trouble is that there is an extreme rise of rouge landlords...there are some bloody decent ones but there are many who prey on the most vulnerable of society and also the local authorities who have to provide temporary accommodation

Landlords don't rent their properties out for the goodness of their hearts. They want to earn as much as possible from the tenants, and they often sell up with little warning.

Not yet. It is showing the divide of those who have taken this route to make their money.

Moneybox Live on R4 today was covering the cost of Buy to Rent, which was a very different take on the private landlord side of the story.

London local authorities have ended up bidding against each other to get private rented accommodation to house people. The landlords hold out until the last minute and then just when a placement has been agreed 'sell' it to another local authority who will pay them more.

It's a broken system.

Not be greedy, be fair and keep the property safe and in good repair. Unless they themselves are n financial difficulty they should give plenty of time for people to find new accommodation and arrange to move their stuff.

It's interesting that the landlords are saying they would act on any request/complaints but that they haven't had any. The tenants say they don't want to complain in case they lose their homes.

We're already at the asset has been damaged by the tenants and how much they can get if they improve the property. It's exactly playing into that tenant's fears.

I was a landlord for a couple of years. Moved house just before the recession in 2008 and couldn't sell the house for what we thought it was worth.

So ended up having to rent it out to help cover the mortgage on the new place.

Some of the tenants were lovely and no trouble. The first lot were always ringing after they had broken something and we would go around and fix it.

Meaning people in those boroughs won't get that place because their own council won't pay it. I'd like to know how much housing benefit landlords collect from the Government. Most average earners can't afford to private rent and have a slim chance of getting a council property.

Possibly to get rid of them. I read somewhere (probably the local paper) that K&C receives more funding than Barking and Dagenham, that has more need.

Yep! If he fixes the flat and brings it to a livable standard then what? The he can raise the rent!

I mean, that assumes that the flat is worth the price it is currently costing!

I think the show is honestly trying to show both sides, though. The meaning doesn't seem to be sinking into the landlords heads, but at the same time the tenants do need to report problems they are having to the landlords. I think its interesting seeing the different perspectives and how each side is thinking about things.

The bulk of benefit payments cover rent, and a significant portion of that goes to private landlords.

in 2014 40% of housing benefit went to them. it was 9 billion pounds.

interesting also is a lot of MPs are landlords themselves, 72 of them in the tory government alone voted against making homes fit for human habitation.

Yes fair point. But sadly it's seen as nothing but a means to make money, and as such people are treated as a commodity.

Not all are bad though. My parents invested years ago as a pension plan. I found out one tenant hadn't paid for months but my mother said it wasn't Christian to push them in hard times.

Sadly the tenant was simply taking her for a mug at the age of 80 and giving her the run around.

Two sides to every story.

Putting the 'cum' in Eboracum

I used to be a landlady, hopefully one of the less 'slum' types. It was a bloody nightmare, and once additional regulations were brought in I sold the flat and breathed a sigh of relief. Not cut out for that level of responsibility.

My Borough is one of the three cheapest places to rent. That is at an average of £1,500.00 pcm. It has the highest rate of unemployment at 9.something %. With over half the council properties being sold under the right to buy. I've noticed that most private properties that are sold now, and in the last 7/8 years have all been rented out. They are left to decay.

Tenants can be a nightmare too, I know. The property isn't theirs so don't give a monkeys. Some rented properties near me have up to 3 cars parked on the drive, filled with household waste and rubbish.
