	Peter Rachman in Notting Hill
		Rachman's name is so synonymous with bad housing that is included in English dictionaries: Rachmanism: 'Landlords buying up slums to fill with immigrants at extortionate rents; named after Peter Rachman, a notorious racketeering landlord in Notting Hill in the 1950s and 1960s'.
		Rachman, was himself an immigrant, the son of a Jewish dentist, he was born in Poland in 1920.
		Rachman's own home in Hampstead was furnished in a lavish, Louis XV style, the house became the venue for decadent parties and a byword for conspicuous consumption.

	The British Theatre Guide : Reviews - Singer (Tricycle, Kilburn)
		Peter Singer is a man with five lives, none of them dull.
		In England, Peter Singer becomes a barely concealed copy of Peter Rachman the notorious slum landlord.
		He is entirely without morals and it is inevitable that as life comes full circle for him after a Reggie Perrin-like resurrection and twenty years working the soup kitchens ("St Peter of the South Bank)", he will become a prototypical hero of the 1980s capitalists but always with a brutal honesty that entirely escapes them.

	The Saga of Polish Peter - TIME
		One of the crawliest figures to emerge was that of Peter Rachman, who may, or may not, be dead.
		Rachman rented the one empty room to a party of eight West Indian musicians who were encouraged to hold nightlong parties and raise hell; they did, to such good effect that the seven white tenants moved out within three months and were replaced by swarms of West Indians paying vastly inflated rents.
		In his single-minded effort to get low-rent tenants out of his houses and high-rent tenants in, Rachman hired men to urinate in hallways, smash furniture, and once in Bayswater to remove the roof of a house and abandon the stubborn tenants to the mercy of wind and weather.

	All About Jewish Theatre - Oxford Stage Company revival of Peter Flannery's "Singer "
		When Peter Flannery's Singer received its RSC premiere in 1989, I was almost alone in giving it a hostile reception, and there are aspects of the play, now being revived by the Oxford Stage Company, that still strike me as being both glib and repellent.
		We first encounter Peter Singer as a Polish Jew in Auschwitz, who manages to save his life through guile and skilful trading on the fl market, though survival comes at a terrible price for both himself and his fellow inmates.
		We next discover him as an immigrant in post-war Britain, wheeling and dealing as ever, and establishing himself as a slum landlord racketeer closely modelled on Peter Rachman.

	Inside story: Bishopstone
		The Rachman method was to buy tenanted properties cheaply, mainly in the then slum areas of Paddington and Notting Hill, and "persuade" tenants to move out.
		In an irony that Rachman might have appreciated, the present owner of Bishopstone is a businessman from Nigeria.
		No thanks to Rachman, being a fl immigrant in London no longer has to mean slumming it.

	Peter Flannery - complete guide to the Playwright and Plays
		We first meet Peter Singer in Auschwitz, where he is already honing his skills as a racketeer.
		As a destitute refugee after the war he im emigrates to London, quickly setting himself up as a purveyor of prostitutes to the upper classes - and the inventor of slum landlordism, a new form of exploitation and extortion.
		Loosely based on the real life Peter Rachman - concentration camp survivor, property racketeer and murky presence in the Profumo Affair - Singer is an epic fable of post-war Britain told with lurid and exhilarating energy.

		Peter Falk plays himself as a fallen angel with a special sensitivity for celestial visitors ("I can't see you, but I know you're there," he proclaims), and Otto Sander, whose smiling eyes brighten a face etched by eons of waiting and watching, is Damiel's partner.
		Likewise, Otto Sander's face is the perfect receptacle for all that he witnesses on his silent rounds through Berlin, while Solveig Dommartin is so sympathetic a character, so lovely, that one could imagine an angel or anyone else yearning to be with her.
		The city itself emerges as a major actor, providing what is certain to stand as the last great visual representation of Berlin in the last couple of years before the Wall fell.

	ZWNEWS.com - linking the world to Zimbabwe
		We might even have met in the Sixties - he was an associate of Peter Rachman's and I went out with one of Rachman's circle - so we spent a nostalgic few minutes reminiscing about rent-collecting practices in St Stephen's Gardens, W11, which is where van Hoogstraten learned his landlord's trade.
		At 18 he moved into Notting Hill Gate alongside Peter Rachman, buying houses very cheaply because they had rent-controlled tenants, but then 'persuading' the tenants to move.
		Favourite practices (that gave their name to Rachmanism) were removing roofs and staircases, or installing prostitutes to drive respectable tenants out.

	Dear Landlord - LandlordZONE
		The private landlord's traditional image became tarnished: it's an image which entered the public psyche through Victorian writers such as Dickens and Trollope and the notorious antics in the UK of slum landlords such as Peter Rachman.
		It's got to be said that a small minority of landlords still do the industry a lot of harm by operating in an unprofessional way - this sort of activity should be discouraged by all.
		Many Landlords are now middle class professionals investing in property as a side-line, using their life's savings and buy-to-let mortgages as a form of secure investment for their retirements.
