Letter: Lodging against insurance
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: I write with regard to your article 'Insurance block lettings to students' (19 September).
When my three revolting teenage children lived at home, giving endless late-night orgies with a constant stream of total strangers passing through, there was no problem with insuring the house and its contents.
Now I have one mature student as a lodger. She is clean, tidy, quiet and scrupulously responsible but she has rendered me virtually uninsurable.
The system seems to be totally nonsensical.
Yours faithfully,
PENELOPE WOOLFITT
