A legal bid to protect tenants from so called 'ghost landlords' has failed
A legal bid to protect tenants from so called "ghost landlords" has failed, in a move that could have significant implications for people looking to claim their rent back if they live in bad conditions.

He said the ruling makes clear that rent-to-rent companies acting as a landlord need to make sure that relevant legal requirements are met.
Rent-to-rent is not illegal, and those who promote it say it brings down rents by giving tenants the option of renting single rooms rather than whole homes.A tribunal ruled that Jess should get her rent back, but she is yet to receive any money
