The Renters’ Rights Act is NOW LAW!

Soon S21 evictions, which have forced millions of people out of their homes for no reason & with just 2 months notice, will be a thing of the past.

This is what our movement can achieve when we stand together.

“We need breathing space now”

New towns open up more affordable homes for the people that need it most, but renters need short term help NOW. Limiting rent rises is the only way to do so.

Pets are part of the family, but too many renters are denied this joy. The Renters' Rights Bill will give renters the right to have a pet.

The Government must look to carry out the legislation ASAP so renters can benefit from their new rights.

We need the government to stop runaway rents in their tracks to give tenants the breathing space we need.
