Petition Require by law Landlords/Ladies to change mattresses between different tenants.
Hi. I'm just another student in the London renting market. Yep, that open sewer of real estate. Thanks to not being provided a new mattress when I moved in to a property, I have had both fleas and bedbugs. I am asking that the government require new mattresses for new tenants.
More details
When I moved into a property two years ago my mattress had been left in the shed for a "few" days whilst work was done on my room. Instead of receiving a new mattress I got the old one from the previous tenant, plus some new friends - fleas!
This year, I moved into a property and discovered the old mattress was infested with bed bugs! Thanks previous tenant!
Whilst it may be expensive to replace mattresses, no tenant should have to live through bug infestations.
