New research from Shelter reveals that millions of private renters live in dangerous conditions because they worry about getting evicted if they complain to their landlord. That's what happens when renters lack security. We need to abolish Section 21 evictions now.

Positive. Something similar was proposed by Joe Bilsborough on our website a year ago. Massive opportunity to extend public housing stock & tackle housing crisis at its root - the commodification of homes. gmhousingaction.com/resetting-the-…

'For more than 70 years, between the First World War and the late 1980s, the United Kingdom had a system of rent controls for private sector tenants. The policy was, on almost every metric, a success.' redbrickblog.co.uk/2021/02/rent-c…

📽️WATCH: East London tenants unite to take on their landlords in this inspiring 1939 documentary. From high rents and disrepair to a government that prioritises profit over people, their struggle could not be more relevant to our own ✊ player.bfi.org.uk/free/film/watc…

Rent controls, now.

Rats, leaks, collapsed ceilings. What we found on this estate led to an inquiry by the Social Housing Regulator. That inquiry has cleared Clarion, finding no evidence of “organisational failure.” We’ve now learned not a single tenant was spoken to as part of the inquiry. Not 1.

This morning we’re handing in a letter to MTVH on behalf of our member S, who has been dealing with shocking levels of disrepair in her home, with nothing done after repeated complaints. Broken roof, pouring leaks, mould to name a few. Today we say: fix it within 24 hrs.

Wondering how much the CEO of MTVH earns? CEO Geeta Nanda: £265k per year. What do Metropolitan tenants get? Broken ceiling, constant leaks, mould, chronic health issues caused by inhumane housing conditions. Today Haringey LRU say: FIX IT NOW.

Without rent controls, a tax on landlords is a tax on renters. Landlords will simply pass the cost of the tax on. Yet another reason Labour should be calling for rent controls to be included in the upcoming Renters Reform Bill. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…
