BBC Sounds, Music, Radio, podcasts.

Hello and welcome to the Not the Martin Lewis podcast, which rather confusingly is an offshoot of my normal The Martin Lewis podcast.

The difference? Well, there are some subjects that are outside my wheelhouse, or I can't answer questions on due to regulations.

So in this podcast, I'm joined by specialists,

and I'm asking, not answering the questions. Well, it's me. I might chip in with the odd note or two.

And crucially, too, it's you who sets the agenda. It's all about getting answers to your questions.

And today's pod is all about renter's rights. Some meaty need to nose, including your rights

if they try to put the rent up. What you can do if the property needs repairs or is damp?

Can they reject your request for a pet? How to deal with letting agents and council landlords

and lots, lots more. We're going to deal first with questions all about England and Scotland,

then at the end, some special notes for those of you in Wales and Northern Ireland

to point out where your rights differ.

So, play the theme tune.

I got meals, I got to pay

So I'm going to work for a lot

I got to feed

So I'm going to make sure

Everybody eats

Well I'm delighted that joining me are
