LONDON — Renting in London has long been an arduous and expensive affair. High rents, dodgy accommodation and lazy landlords. With the mayoral election next week many tenants have had e**ugh.

They've been sharing photos depicting their renting experience on Twitter and Tumblr with the hashtag #VentYourRent, which was launched by Generation Rent to highlight the issue.

The result is an outpouring of horror stories, featuring damp apartments, mice infestations, absent agents and sky-high costs. Rent can take up to 72% of a Londoner's salary, a survey last year revealed.
