A “struggling” unemployed Leeds man claims he has been priced out of his shared house and has hit out at the “hostile” public sector across the UK.
English graduate Rohan Prasad-Weitz, 24, dropped out of his master’s course at the University of York during the pandemic and has “drifted” in and out of jobs ever since, unable to find a secure foothold. He’s more recently been “priced out” of his home in Burley where he’s been paying £390 a month.
His landlord told him he’d have to pay £100 more in rent, three months ago. Rohan has been struggling ever since to find somewhere nearby that’s more affordable. With mortgage rates rising in recent months, this has seen private landlords increasing rent fees.
