Luckily this can't happen in most of the EU. Even if the contract say X years you can't throw people out after the contract runs out unless you are moving in yourself.
- scandox 6y agoIn Ireland sadly we have a Landlord culture and many landlords move people on regularly to ensure they don't get any rights or simply get too comfortable.
- gambiting 6y agoDefinitely not true in the UK(and wasn't true when we were still in the EU) - if the contract comes to an end and the landlord doesn't want to extend it then that's it, you have to move out. They don't have to give any reason.
- HarryHirsch 6y agoAh yes, the assured shorthold tenancy, the default form of rental contract in the UK since the mid-1990s. That was an attempt to goose the housing market in a stagnant economy, together with buy-to-let mortgages. It was embarrassing to see the national newspapers promote the scheme enthusiatically. Asset inflation is great when you hold assets, but the husing bubble is one of the ways the establishment pulled the ladder up from the Millennials and later.
