COUNTY NEWS: Short-term tenancies '˜unsettle' families

One in eight parents in the East and South East of England blame short rental tenancies for making their children unsettled, according to a YouGov pol.

Thirteen per cent of parents surveyed said short contracts resulted in frequent and stressful house moves, in figures published by homelessness and housing charity Shelter.

The charity claims that in the past decade, the number of renting families has more than doubled, but housing instability is having a detrimental impact in terms of emotional and physical unheaval.
