    Really? Because over here in this western democracy, we’ve got employment contracts and renter protections that make the first two impossible.

    I also find it hilarious to place a Facebook ban on the same level as unemployed homelessness.

      Renter protections in the UK are worth fuck all. You might have a 12 month contract, but if the landlord wants you gone they just choose not to renew.

      You either suck the landlords dick or start looking for a new landlords dick to suck.

      Anyone that thinks otherwise has clearly never been a tennant, the balance of power is almost completely one sided.

        Renter protection in the Netherlands is pretty great. Once a rental contract is renewed, it automatically becomes a contract with no fixed term. If your landlord wants you out after that 1 chance, they’ll have to get a judge to approve it.
