An influencer says she and her mum are being forced to move after their landlord bumped up the rent - by hundreds of pounds.
Podcaster and creator Paige Lewin, 31, who lives in Docklands, East London took to social media to tell her 20,000 followers that she and her mum, Patricia, 60, are being priced out of their flat.
A few weeks ago the creator says she received an email stating her rent would now be increased to a whopping £2,466 - with only two months before her tenancy runs out.
