An ACORN member fled home after their landlord's behaviour left them feeling threatened & unsafe. Further harassment led us to march on the estate agencies he uses; which secured a face-to-face meeting to hear & make good on our member's demands.

Cardiff Council are trying to kick 17 families out of their homes for alleged links to the 2023 riots.
This is disgraceful behaviour from the council. They have no desire to help those in need and instead look to punish those who were expressing anger over a devastating event in their community.

🚨Petition: Boot Bully Bailiffs out of Wales🏴
The Welsh Gov wants to know what you 🫵 think of the Council Tax System — we say it robs working families, and benefits bully bailiffs who profit off people's misery!

Yet another productive members meeting! We had thoughtful discussions about challenges faced by residents in different neighbourhoods of Cardiff and made plans for outreach activities this summer. We also had a lovely recap of all the wins we’ve achieved over the past 5 months!

🚨 With Awaab’s Law coming into effect and the Renters' Rights Bill due to become law later this year, this is a crucial time to make sure renters’ voices are heard.
That’s why we’ve just launched our yearly Renters Survey!

Kicking off the week with an ACORN victory: Over £100 of fees waived for Ashley and Kate
Our members Ashley and Kate were living with serious disrepairs in their flat. The Rent Guru, their letting agency, was not only unprofessional in arranging repairs but they also demanded maintenance fees.

Diolch yn fawr to @bigissue.com for speaking to ACORN Cardiff members in your article about compensation for eviction. Well done to Kate and Dan for articulating why this is fair and necessary. www.bigissue.com/news/housing...
Should renters get compensation from their landlord when they're evicted?
The Welsh government has rejected a proposal for renters to receive two months of rent in compensation when they are evicted.
