THE RENT TRAP
Book ID/图书代码： 10953016B89656
English Summary/英文概要： Deregulation, revenge evictions, parliamentary corruption and day-to-day instability: these are the realities for the eleven million people currently renting privately in the UK. At the same time, house prices are skyrocketing and the generational promise of home ownership is now an impossible dream for many. This is the rent trap, an inescapable consequence of market-induced inequality.
Rosie Walker and Samir Jeraj offer the first critical account of what is really going on in the private rented sector and expose the powers which are conspiring to oppose regulation. Over a quarter of British MPs are landlords, rent strike is almost impossible and snap evictions are growing, but in the light of these hurdles The Rent Trap will show how people are starting to fight back.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 管制松懈、报复性驱逐、议会腐败、日益动荡——这些是英国1100万正在私人租赁的人所面临的现实。同时，房价正在飞涨，对许多人来说，拥有住房这一梦想已经变得遥不可及。这就是租赁陷阱，由市场引起的不公所带来的不可避免的后果。
Rosie Walker和Samir Jeraj在本书中首次揭露了私人租赁行业的真实面貌，并揭开了谋划对抗管制的各种力量。目前，英国四分之一的议员都是房东，因此拒付租金几乎是不可能的，突然驱逐正在不断上升，但尽管有如此多的障碍，本书也会告诉大家，人们正在开始反抗。(LYR)
