SEX FOR RENT
The rogue landlords,who offer 'free rooms'
in return for "favours" and what are the
favours required.
To the unaware average person (female) or
(male),the true meaning of some of the phrases
or phrasing,used on the adverts,placed in shop
windows,local gazette,or posted on the local
library and of university notice board
could be missed
"rooms for rent are offered in exchange for
"benefits" or "keeping me company"
Other adverts,are less subtle,
"free accommodation in exchange for
erotic arrangement"
renting rooms for 'sexual favours',is now seen
as a growing menace,by some campaigners,ie
these adverts are aimed to attract a student,
a foreign female,low income/homeless female,
or the single mother etc
One can argue,that the system has let them
down,where there is a housing shortage,and
many people,which include young male/female
are unable to find somewhere to live,without
having to spend exorbitant sums in rent.
the problem has become particularly apparent
in university towns,where young women are
targeted by these rogue landlords and such an
offer,may actually breach the Sexual Offences
Act 2003
The LAW
Offering accommodation in
exchange for sex,is inciting
prostitution,
an offence which can carry a
sentence of up to seven years
imprisonment.
"agreeing to have sex with
someone,under the pressure
and fear of homelessness,or
in exchange for the basic right
to have somewhere to live,
does not equate to agreeing by
choice,any sexual activity without
consent,is a very serious offence
