Given the steep rise of housing costs over the years, politicians have been left scratching their heads as they figure out how to solve this problem. Luckily it seems like the problem has solved itself with landlords renting out rooms for sex with their tenants. Two adults engaging in voluntary mutually beneficial arrangements. Personally I see nothing wrong with this and wish statist scum would stop getting in the way of consenting adults.

To the unaware, the true meaning of some of the phrases used on the ads for tenants could be missed. Rooms for rent are offered in exchange for “benefits” or “keeping me company”. Others are less subtle – “free accommodation in exchange for an erotic arrangement”.

Renting rooms for sexual favours is seen as a growing menace by campaigners, and a byproduct of a housing crisis where young people are unable to find somewhere to live without spending exorbitant sums.

The problem has become particularly marked in university towns, where young women are targeted by rogue landlords. But while then justice secretary David Lidington last year said such offers may breach the Sexual Offences Act, there is frustration that more is not being done.

“Since last year, there has not been a single arrest, let alone a conviction, let alone anybody actually going to jail for it,” says Peter Kyle, Labour MP for Hove.

Kyle has been campaigning on the issue and has consistently called for landlords who offer accommodation in exchange for sex to be prosecuted.

Thought it was going to be about the mini-houses, but this is good too.

I foresee a new batch of #metoo cases, 10 years from now. Maybe 5 years. :D

Nothing wrong with it if it were truly consent-based. Survival sex =/= consent.

Do you not? Or does the US bar people from owning property based on their place of birth?

Yea. House prices are fucked in the UK. If you don't already own a house you are shit out of luck unless you're earning at least £30k a year or don't mind living in a 1 bedroom flat.

"Survival Sex" or prostitution?

It's kind of like a venn diagram. Usually survival sex is specifically the trade of sex in order to meet basic needs of survival, like housing and food. Prostitution can involve this too, but not always. Sometimes it's about trading sex for money, drugs, or because of an abusive/life-threatening sex trafficker is coercing them into it.
