Renting is definitely one of the sources of survival pressure for young people in big cities. A month's hard earned half of the salary has to pay rent, fat difficult.
And the recent burst of some rental problems, no doubt, is even worse. For example, rent rises, housing air quality is worrying. Let the young people rent a cold heart: life is not easy, why to give me another block?
In rental housing, not only the current situation in China, foreign young people are not easy. The ragged basement also dares to rent, strange landlord random penalty money story is too many.
One of the most bizarre, but also the operation of "sexual rental", the elder sister has written about this event before. Recently, a The British Broadcasting Corporation reporter disguised as a tenant met with two landlords from Bristow and stealthie made their shocking remarks.
Both landlords are over half a century old, twice as old as journalists. One of them, Mike, told reporters, "as long as we become 'mutually beneficial friends', you can live in a two-bedroom house with a full water grid."
"all you have to offer is to sleep with me once a week." He spoke so easily as if it were a normal business.
Another landlord, Tom, is in his 60s. Journalist asked him if he wanted to talk to himself, make love,. He said, "it's embarrassing for you to say that. You can do whatever you want, make love if you want make love. "
But it's necessary to sleep with him: "you can get used to it for a week or two if you're not ready, but on the last day, you have to come (sleep with me)." As long as the reporter agreed to this condition, he promised to provide free accommodation, water and electricity fully covered.
When they were told it was a covert interview with The British Broadcasting Corporation, Mike panicked, arguing that he was "pretending to be the landlord" and was actually preparing to write a novel about exploitation of women, and he was doing research on the ground.
Emmm. In this case, whether it is true or false to write a novel, his remarks are truly shocking.
Similar "sexual rental" advertisements are common on rental websites. In many mainstream rental sites, you can often see the rent ads clearly and plainly written asking for female tenants.?
The following is more obscure, said to find a free school girl, accommodation. But if you think about it with your toes, you can see where the free lunch comes from in the world.
Another landlord wrote on the renting information: "My house has a bedroom, a large balcony and a roof terrace. The room is free for women and only wants a little 'work' and 'return'."
The landlord also said he was 26 and worked in engineering jobs. If anyone is interested, please email him with self-introduction and photos.

You have to look at each other's photos where you can rent a room. Although he didn't make it clear, he almost directly pointed to sexual intercourse to pay the rent.
"Free rooms, for female tenants," the description says, "I guess you can guess from the title, you can pay the rent in other ways. The house is on the market for 1400 pounds. "

Some people put pictures not only of the room, but also of their own. And stressed that he is now single.
There are landlords to do housework, accompany the request to replace rent. Of course, the tenant requirement is also female.

There are also demands on the race and appearance of tenants. "Free rooms for attractive Eastern European women":

These are more conservative words, some people say directly that they want "beautiful, young, open girls" to come, "all free, as long as you sleep with me."
Some people ask to meet in a coffee shop before renting a house to see if they can develop into "roommates"; others will make very explicit demands that they should be "dissolute" and "SM".
In addition to straight men hiring female tenants, there are landlords who say they are gay, looking for a homosexual love roommate. Something happened. Or I want to see a couple sleeping together. The taste is very complicated, and after reading it, it is also very complicated inside.
Wouldn't it be dangerous to trade your body for shelter? The landlords claim, "I'm not forcing you to do anything, whether you like it or not, some people want to live." it sounds like nothing wrong, but there are a lot of hidden dangers behind it.
A Liverpool reporter, Emily, contacted two landlords in person to uncover the phenomenon, but did not expect their comments to be overwhelming.
One of them, Dave, asked Emily to meet him several times a week, "crazy, passionate make love," flirting. He also described a very explicit picture, which Emily said could not be said to the public. "I was lucky I knew I was safe when I got in touch with the landlord, but what they said made me really upset."
At the end of her own experiment, she said, renting women are sensible adults, but in this case they are forced into a very uncomfortable, unsafe situation just to stay out of the street. Communicating with such landlords will undoubtedly defeat women's self-esteem.
Some people may think that if you listen to the landlord having sex, you can be safe with each other. But in fact, there is no guarantee at all. Sex for a house is about the same as placing people on the fence, and landlords may make all sorts of unreasonable demands on tenants. In addition to sexual transaction, will let them do housework and so on.
Some people say free housing, but find a variety of reasons, such as "sexual service dissatisfied", "not enough", let tenants pay part of the monthly rent or utilities, can be said to be very rogue.
And, as long as the owner does not want to, he can say turn the face, straight away from the door. In a previous case, the landlord drove a woman tenant out of the house and said, "you can call the police," but the woman tenant dared not go.
So, this kind of situation seems that you love me, in fact, there is a huge risk. Many women are at great risk and are highly likely to develop rape, sexual abuse, venereal disease infection.
According to statistics, over the past five years, about 25000 women in the UK have offered sexual service, for rent relief.
The spread of "sex rentals" is partly because someone wants to reduce rent through sex. They upload their sexy photos to the site, hinting that they can offer some kind of service to rent a house for free.
But under British law, "sex for rent" could be found to incite prostitution, with up to seven years in prison in England and Wales.
"sexual exploitation is illegal," the British police said. "We encourage people who have similar experiences, or who see people who are likely to be victims of such violations, to report them to the police as soon as possible."
At the end of the day, this free lunch is really bad and can lead to follow-up problems. Although this situation in the country has not yet formed a major hidden danger, but also must be vigilant.
Remind your friends that no matter how vulnerable or helpless you are, you have the right to say no. Be careful when renting a house.
