Writing a book about the state of housing in London led me to interview two tenants, Ed and Carolyn, whose stories will be familiar to many of the capital’s under-35s, almost two thirds of whom rent their home.
Ed told me he wants his own space, but the best he can afford is a flat share. When we met, he wasn’t sure if he had enough money in his account to pay the rent and he was too scared to check his bank balance.
