Can somebody please explain to me why forcing renters onto rolling month-to-month or week-to-week contracts gives them more security? Atm I have to renew my lease annually, but at least that gives me 364 days of reasonable security.

Keir Starmer vows to 'put an end to unsafe housing' in exclusive article for Big Issue The prime minister Keir Starmer has written an exclusive letter in the Big Issue pledging to ensure stronger rights for renters.

Fantastic to see the UK Govt has now set out timeliness for the Renters Rights Act. Older renters need the protections it will bring as soon as possible.

The UK rental crisis is officially shrinking our lives. Nearly 1/3 of advertised flatshares now have NO living room, as landlords convert lounges to bedrooms to cover costs. 
-> Is a communal sofa too much to ask?

Right to buy in reverse: how Brighton is tackling its social housing crisis | Richard Partington The council is rolling back Thatcher’s flagship policy by buying stock from private landlords. Other local authorities should take note

Excellent idea - more local authorities should do the same if they can.

LHAs cover around 50-60% of market rents. The exploitation of private renters is scandalous.

My landlord refuses to allow us the therapy dog that L desperately needs, not just for company but also if he's to start leaving the house alone again.

We've offered to pay extra money on top of the rent, but no. Every time, it's just a flat no.

We were promised freedom, but what we got was access. And access comes with an invoice.

Rent became the price of entry, rights became products.

Housing, medicine, credit, even visibility... someone owns the toll booths that count as 'access'.

Disappointing. LibDems have sometimes been better attuned to needs of drug users + the need for policies that reduce harm. Those of them on the London Assembly (maybe some think otherwise, elsewhere) also appear to be aligning themselves with landlords, not renters. #HarmReduction #GenerationRent
