Gumtree landlord tells mum to send topless photos for reduced rent in sleazy texts

A PERV landlord offered a young mum reduced rent in exchange for topless pictures after she approached him about a property on Gumtree.

Georgia Linehan, 22, from Canterbury, Kent, exposed the sleazy messages after being told she could have £200 a month knocked off her rent for two pictures of her breasts.

She had contacted the landlord about a two-bedroom house in Whitstable, which was advertised at £695 a month.

After a short text conversation in which she told the landlord she was interested in becoming a tenant, he wrote: “There is a (sic) option to reduce rent if you wanted to x”.

Georgia replied: “Oh really how?”

The landlord said: “I own a modelling company a few of my tenants work for me doing boob work so basically. Breast pics for 2 pics the rent gets reduced by £200 x”.

The mum-of-one rejected the offer and later shared the text messages on social media to warn other women about the creepy proposal.

She said: “All jokes aside I think this is a very clear indication of how dangerous some people can be on the internet… especially to young, vulnerable women.

“It also shows how hard it is for a woman to even find a place to live without being sexualised and exploited.”

SEX FOR RENT SCANDAL

The Sun Online has previously revealed how sleazy landlords are offering young women properties rent free in exchange for sexual favours.

Our investigation filmed one pervert offering our reporter a rent-free flat in wealthy Canary Wharf if she shared a bed with him twice a week.

MPs were among those to condemn the messages sent to Georgia after they received more than 3,000 retweets.

Rosie Duffield, MP for Canterbury and Whitstable, tweeted: “Absolutely awful. I know Georgia and I will be getting more details.

“Whoever you are, this is not OK.”

Liberal Democrat MP Wera Hobhouse added: “I have been campaigning on #SexforRent issues in Parliament for over a year.

“It is a disgusting abuse of landlord power and we have to end it.”
