[Introduction]

"Having trouble with your Landlord? ph. 44-814", says the ad in the 'to let' column of the Evening Post. About twenty times a week for some unfortunate tenants that sentence strikes an all too desperate chord.

Their landlord won't let them park their car in the driveway or objects to them having a member of the opposite sex in the house or sends some of his friends to crash in 'his' pad for a night or a few weeks. When a tenant rings T.P.A. about that it's a simple enough thing to fix, all it takes is a phone call. When the little landlord recognises there is power greater than his he will usually step down.
