London is increasingly becoming a city that is unlivable for ordinary people. The housing crisis and cost of living crisis is forcing people out of the city or into poverty.

But it doesn’t have to be this way👇

This is a national disgrace.

The homelessness crisis isn’t an unavoidable fact of life, it’s the direct result of political choices made by those in power. And as those choices have been made, they can be unmade. But only if we’re organised and willing to fight for it.

We are.

A 30% (£700) rent increase is pure greed enabled by a rotten housing system, plain and simple.

We need rent controls, badly. But we also need an entirely new housing system that prioritises people’s need for housing over lining the pockets of the wealthy.

“P***-taking landlord tries to charge tenant £25 for every email she has to reply to.”

This is the reality of how landlords think they can treat tenants in this country. dailystar.co.uk/news/latest-ne…

Landlords are happy with the Bill and tenant groups aren’t.

Tells you all you need to know.

Adam, a disabled renter in Liverpool, has been evicted 4 times in 4 years, including an illegal eviction & revenge eviction after complaining about bad housing conditions.

This is who the government has betrayed by gutting the Renters Reform Bill on behalf of the landlord lobby.

Class war, plain and simple.

“Despite the Conservatives pledging to get rid of no-fault evictions in 2019, landlords are using it in record numbers with a 28% increase in 2023.”

End Section 21. Now.

Nationalise water. Now.

NHS waiting times through the roof, poor housing conditions destroying people’s health, food costs skyrocketing. But the government has decided forcing unwell people into work is their priority.

Time and time again we see the truth that the only way to win is to build power in our communities👊

Rents are rising at almost double the rate of wages, and almost triple the amount of inflation.

Rent controls now!

Rental bidding wars see letting agents pitting prospective tenants against one another to force up the price of rent. This is driving renters deeper into poverty and fuelling the cost of living crisis.

Let’s kick this practice out of our towns and cities👊

It’s time to kick out these vultures once and for all.

Nationalise water.

Councils using bailiffs to collect debt is a disgrace. Ineffective and inhumane at the best of times & beyond the pale in the worst cost of living crisis in a generation. ACORN will won't stand for the use of these parasites in our communities.
