A WORKSHOP aiming to teach landlords how to maximise profit from property investments was shut down after protesters gathered outside the event in Edinburgh today. 

The demonstration, organised by tenants’ union Living Rent, took place outside the Doubletree Hilton Hotel where Homes Under the Hammer’s Martin Roberts was due to lead the class. 

The event boasted that it would teach landlords to “maximise their profits,” “make money while they sleep,” and “live the life they deserved,” but the protesters said that it would serve only to drive up rents and force tenants into poverty.
