@MayorofLondon As 29 households being forced out of our private rent homes by @LQHomesMatter - and unable to afford the hugely increased rents locally - this @G15London landlord is behaving totally irresponsibly and not in line with their so-called socially responsible ethos @wfcouncil
@LGHFabians hosted its inaugral drinks reception last night with fantastic keynote speeches from @aliciakennedy07 of @genrentuk and @AbdiDuale_.
They highlighted the issues at the root of our housing crisis including lack of supply and poor tenant rights.

@Shelter@BBCBreakfast One such example is in I-news this week - worth a read! Older renters and families being evicted by @LQhomes https://t.co/VnX4bKElzt
As costs continue to rise, many households in the private rental sector are forced to pay rent they can’t afford, with no access to alternative options.
We're calling for reform. Renters need it. The public support it. The government can do it.

So so true! Especially when you are losing your much-loved home through absolutely no fault of your own - @LQHomesMatter@G15London @luhc @MPIainDS#ukhousing#endsection21s
Private renters twice as likely as homeowners to have anxiety, UK study suggests https://t.co/n4zF5JfHC3
@LucieGutfreund@LQHomesMatter Yes @LucieGutfreund We should not have to do this! Telling our stories to the media is not something that is easy, but sadly it seems that to @LQHomesMatter we're not actual "real people" with "real lives" that are being turned completely upside down. 😞
🧵Packed newsletter 🏡 @theipaper this week. Rising inflation and interest rates have taken the housing crisis to the next level. The impact will be devastating if no meaningful support is offered for private renters - where's the political outcry? https://t.co/MBaR0nYcdw
Finally, we hear from residents @DogStadiumFight in east London who were told they would be evicted from their homes by their landlord - the housing association L&Q. Some are retired, and others are young families. They all say they can't afford anything else in the area.

We were in our local paper again on Friday. With a front page headline.....
Although @LQHomesMatter@G15London say they're not issuing mass Section 21s "at this time" we still remain insecure, unsettled and soon to be losing our homes.... @MayorofLondon@michaelgove@MPIainDS
"Not-for-profit housing associations’ number one priority will always be the safety and quality of the existing homes we provide."
The overwhelming evidence would suggest otherwise.

The "no-fault" eviction is another thing for those already feeling the financial pressure to worry about.
We're taking a look at how a "no-fault" eviction ban could help to end the cycle of homelessness.

@MPIainDS Will you be attending this debate https://t.co/uTDMBTslJA today? Please raise the urgency of banning no fault evictions. If huge landlords like @LQHomesMatter can feel comfortable telling whole blocks of tenants they need to leave, it only shows how....
