It's no secret that renting in the UK right now is costly.
London is one of the world's most expensive cities to rent, with tenants often having to hand over more than half of their salary for a room in a flat.
And as the cost of living crisis bites and bills soar, rents are creeping up further reaching record highs in some parts - the average cost of private rentals rose by 4.2% in 2022, according to the Office of National Statistics.
