135,000 40-60+ year olds looking for a spare room to rent

The flat-sharing site SpareRoom.com has revealed it has 100,000 clients in their late 40s and early 50s on its books, and 35,000 customers in their late 50s and early 60s.

I was not surprised to learn that older tenants are rising in number: many older house-hunters might be unable to get a mortgage due to their age, with renting the only option.
