So proud of this campaign! 80% reduction in a rent hike for nearly 300 households, families kept in their homes and a community staying together. Nobody does it quite like ACORN ✊

🚨 With Awaab’s Law coming into effect & the Renters' Rights Bill due to become law later this year, this is a crucial time to make sure renters’ voices are heard. Whether you're a private or social tenant, please take a few minutes to share your experiences: form.123formbuilder.com/6827704/rent...

This is exactly why the Government must move to tackle rising rents, including by capping in-tenancy rent rises, if upcoming reforms are to be effective at ending unfair evictions. Shout out to @rentersreformco.bsky.social for this important research www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

third of renters could be 'forced out of their homes' despite landmark reforms

Labour’s significant Renters' Rights Bill, which is currently passing through Parliament, will ban landlords from evicting renters for no reason from their homes - but fears remain

In the 1920s, Vienna started to build lots of high quality social housing. Unlike the UK, it didn't stop. Today, more that 60% of the city's population lives in beautiful and affordable social housing like this... Great thread from our Head Organiser @nickballard.bsky.social👇

From 1919 to 1934, Vienna's socialist municipal government implemented a comprehensive program to construct affordable housing for the masses (🧵).

There’s no reason why a landlord would need a huge amount of rent in advance other than greed. No one would expect you to pay for 6 months of food shopping up front! It’s a huge step in the right direction that this is now being abolished - no wonder the landlords don’t like it!
