Description
Can young tenants stand the test of time?
Rising rents, housing shortages and poor living conditions are making it harder than ever for young people to afford housing. It’s particularly tough when moving to anew area with no friends or family to provide emotional, practical or financial support.
Meanwhile, more old people live alone than ever before; with loneliness and isolation a real problem facing that generation.
To tackle this problem, Tough Old Landlords is a boundary-crossing series that will match up young tenants who want cheap rent with older people who have a spare room and would like a bit of company.
However, the cheap rent comes with unique conditions. For seven days, they will live by the landlord’s rules – helping around the house, eating dinner together, providing companionship. Do they drive each other crazy, or might this be the start of a beautiful friendship?
After the seven days are up, Landlord and Tenant must both decide whether they want to make it permanent, in this heart-warming and funny show with one of today’s biggest issues at its core.
