Starmer to rent out homes to migrants: Government now pleads with landlords to host asylum seekers, with five-year guaranteed rent deal offered - as small boats crossing Channel swamp Britain

The Government are appealing to landlords to host asylum seekers, with private contractors working on their behalf, offering five-year guaranteed rent deals.

Private contractor Serco - one of three working for the Home Office - are offering five-year guaranteed rent deals to landlords, with the taxpayer footing the bill.

Their website states the company is responsible for housing over 30,000 asylum seekers, with an 'ever growing portfolio' of over 7,000 homes.

The firm organised an event at a four-star hotel in the Malvern Hills next month, as part of their drive to house more asylum seekers, according to The Telegraph.

Serco is said to be 'looking for' landlords, investors and agents, with properties in the North West, the Midlands and the east of England to lease for more than five years.

The deal reportedly includes promises of rent paid 'on time every month with no arrears', free property management, full repair and maintenance, as well utilities council tax bills paid by Serco.

Its promotional material claims to prospective clients that the offer is 'an attractive and competitive proposition within the industry’.

It comes as the number of Channel migrants in small boats surpassed 9,500 this year so far - a third up from the previous all-time high.

At the same period in the record-breaking year of 2022, this figure stood at 6,691 in, while last year is reached 5,916 during the same time frame.

It is understood that it has been the Government's statutory duty to accommodate destitute asylum seekers since 2005.

A Home Office spokesperson said: 'These arrangements with the private rented sector have been in place for years, including under the previous government.

'We have a statutory duty to support destitute asylum seekers who will not be able to pay for fees such as utilities and council tax.

HYPE. Because, the British government has been coordinating (for over 15 years) with landlords to house aliens <-- the very activity that Starmer now complains is lacking?! The landlords have been kicking people out of their (effectively:) homes of many years. Then, the landlords subdivide the structure and plug in several aliens.

When indie reports were being streamed from Springfield concerning “they’re eating the cats, they’re eating the dogs”, I recall choice words made a by a large & scrappy resident — among other things, he called the unwelcome interlopers “sand monkeys”... lol

It’s a New World Order thingy; western governments surrendering their own countries over to Islamic invaders and the citizens are letting them do it. If the citizens don’t take control of their governments, they’re going to find out the hard way just how incompatible they are with Islamic rule. An era of new crusades to restore their western culture is needed asap.

In the memory of some yet living, Britain was the mightiest sea power on earth.

Hang your head in shame, Britain.

No wonder he’s obsessed with Ukraine, it draws attention away from this illegal alien debacle.

Wow, why didn’t Napoleon think of that? He could have swamped Britain with hordes of hungry North Africans.
