Silver Sharers: the site helping older renters meet their match
Services assists prospective tenants in their search for landlords of a similar age
It’s not just Generation Rent that struggles with insecure lets, unscrupulous landlords and bad accommodation.
There are more than 400,000 people aged over 60 living in private rented accommodation, up more than 60% from 2007. Research predicts a third of over-60s could be renting privately by 2040, as rising divorce rates and sky-high property prices take their toll.
For some older renters, the prospect can be depressing as it could mean poor-quality accommodation, insecure tenancy, isolation.
