Despite the aggressive and unprofessional conducts from the landlords, all ACORN members remained polite, considerate, and professional. We are not asking the landlords to fetch us the moon. We just want him to give our members their money back! (6)

In July, we decided to try to meet Nikki and Sion's landlord again by visiting the address listed in their contract - which is in Newport. A group of us went with Nikki, who brought with her all the necessary documents and evidence to make it easy for the landlord. At last, we met the man! (5)

To recap:
- Emails: Ignored ❌
- Invitation to meet in person: Declined ❌
- Phone call: Responded to with threats of physical violence 💥
So far, NOT so good at all. But £730 worth of deposit (not to mention interest) is too big of an amount for our members and so ACORN could not give up! (4)

But what if we deliver a physical letter ✉️ to the landlord? That would be hard to ignore, right 🤔? So, in June, a group of us visited one of the landlord’s businesses, Heavenly Desserts in Cardiff. Here’s how that went 👇

Bit of backgrounds: Nikki and Sion moved out of their last flat in December 2025. Despite following all due processes, their £730 deposit has been withheld with no reason provided 😱. As their union, ACORN helped them draft a letter of demand, which also got ignored.

And I think this speaks to the importance of raising awareness etc… The name will catch on if we start using it more, especially in the media and in PR campaigns and all that jazz.

Not only are you on a train that runs but also the internet works on said train? Truly a miracle.
