Parents and pet owners are paying as much as £460 per month more for rent and bills, it’s claimed.
The claim comes from website Confused, which asked 2,000 UK renters about their current living situation.
Some 33 per cent currently have a pet at their rental property, while around three in 10 have children. Of these, 13 per cent have had to pay their landlord an additional bond or deposit, and 10 per cent had to pay an extra cleaning fee.
