Property Guardians

“Imagine sleeping beauty’s residence, they’re living in that.”

BBC’s News magazine takes a look at “extreme house-sitters,” or people who pay a minimal amount in rent to become guardians of mansions and other very large residences while they’re on the market waiting to be sold. Guardians are basically hired to live in a property to make sure it isn’t being robbed or vandalized.
