About this listen

 UK rental properties without living rooms are increasing as landlords convert these spaces into additional bedrooms to maximise rental income. Tenants accept the loss of shared living spaces in exchange for cheaper rent, with portable entertainment devices enabling consumption of media in any room. This trend echoes historical predictions about the decline of family gathering spaces, similar to speculation in the 1930s when electrical heating reduced dependence on fireplaces.
