BBC on the Rent Relief Campaign

17 Jun 2020

Rent Happily founder Boris Drappier was recently interviewed by the BBC to talk about what we are doing with regards to the rent crisis in the aftermath of the pandemic. This was broadcast on 12th June 2020 for the main 6.30 pm news on BBC Points West.

 

The focus of the programme was the hardship faced by tenants and what can be done about it. It starts with an interview with a tenant who fell through the net and lost his home, followed by a representative of the tenants’ union Acorn about their rent abolition campaign. Then a landlord intervenes to explain how he’s stepped in to help his tenants, and Boris Drappier speaks in the name of the letting sector.

We are grateful for the opportunity to spread the word about how landlords are getting out of their way to help their tenants, and how to get more done in these difficult times. More info about what we are doing can be found in our News section on our website.

  • Rent Happily has been managing our properties for seven years now. As a team they are fantastic, whether liaising with tenants, keeping up to date with any maintenance when needed, or making sure that we always comply with any new regulations. When we have tenant changeovers, they have been very quick to find new tenants so any void periods have been minimal. I thoroughly recommend their property management services.

  • The team at Rent Happily is a pleasure to work with, they are easy to get hold of if need be and prompt to resolve problems. Thank you.

  • This is our first let with Rent Happily. We have used numerous letting agents in the past and we are amazed by how much better in every department this agency is. The level of organisation and efficiency is fantastic. They really know their stuff and are on top of all the legal, financial and practical details. Their systems work and they are responsive to concerns and queries. The tenant selection process is based on finding a good fit for the landlord, the tenant and the property. The commitment to treating both tenant and landlord fairly is something we far prefer given the lack of ethical standard commonly seen in this business. This approach really takes the stress out of letting out a property. These are qualities we did never expected to find in this business and so we feel very lucky to have found Rent Happily.
