When Tiana* decided to move into her best friend Lia’s flat, she had no idea it would wreck their relationship, culminating in Tiana coming home one day to find that her former bestie had changed the locks.
The pair hadn't even planned on living in the apartment that was bought for Lia by her parents. There was a lodger living there, and the money from that lodger’s rent was an “investment” that went straight into Lia’s savings account. But Tiana and Lia, aged 19 and 20 respectively, were struggling to find anywhere else to live in London. Suddenly, the lodger announced they were moving out, so into the rent-free flat they went. Except it wasn’t rent-free. Not for Tiana, at least, or the other friend they moved into the third bedroom.
