Rent unaffordability and the housing crisis have long been causes for concern.

Not only are private renters more likely to experience anxiety than homeowners, but they also have to contend with rogue landlords, bidding wars and ridiculous requests all making it harder for renters to find suitable homes. You only have to take a look at this recent Twitter thread for evidence of just how crazy things can get.

Sadly, things are due to get worse before they get better. Zoopla reports that there is no sign of the rental price slowing down any time soon due to a chronic supply and demand mismatch. Currently, the demand for properties is 46% above average, while the total supply is 38% lower.
