£2500 a month, Yea Gods....
If the rent was £2500 a month (and that is not unusual for a decent size house in London which 3-4 adults can share) then the landlords would have been losing money as I'm sure the damage caused, electricity bills etc by 35 tenants outweigh the rental income.
If i rented out i would be very careful about selecting tenants (get references, even guarantors) and I would get a good deposit and keep a close eye on things for at least 3 months- even if it's just waking past most days
Not always that easy FF.

On one of our properties a few years back we did all that only to have to take the house back, stripped of all assets and littered with literally a hundred or so hypodermics, blood splatters every where and a load of rubbish.

On others we have done it only for the tenant to go on the rock and roll and not pay. We no longer accept DSS given the issues we have experienced. Best tenants are usually the foreign ones I'm afraid to say. We have some turnip pickers in at the moment and they are excellent.

Renting is not the easy market some make it out to be.

FF, how would they get the above if they were immigrants, or illegals.
trt- illegals wouldn't have references- unless they were good forgeries. Immigrants might have references though so immigrants perse are not automatically a problem.

I know it's not easy YMF- but a few regular checks in this latest case would have spotted the problem before the authorities did. It is hard though once tenants start to abuse a property/rental agreement. In these cases the official tenant who sublets on this scale will default on rent pretty quickly to make up for lost deposit and will disappear as soon as rumbled
I hope that these 35 souls have been installed immediately into the nearest Hilton with all expenses paid and not just turned out onto the street.
