Hull Renters' Union

We're an inclusive, member-led organisation acting in the interests of renters to transform housing in Hull. Sign up to our mailing list here 👇

[Hull Renters' Union @HullRenterUnion]

The ban on evictions ends a week today, with over 200,000 people at risk of homelessness. But by working together we can help each other 👊

Join our online welcome meeting this Thursday (7pm) to find out how we can organise in Hull.

This climate map paints a stark picture of the future if we don't drive down carbon emissions - heat and humidity in southeast England. Storm damage, landslides, coastal erosion, and floods in the north of England, Wales, and the north of Ireland. https://t.co/Mehopwhano

[London Renters Union @LDNRentersUnion]

A million people in the UK are in rent debt due to Covid.

Landlord groups like @NRLAssociation say government should fund grants, loans and subsidies through next week’s budget.

Would be great for landlords but won't protect renters from eviction.

Support @RobertJenrick is giving landlords:

💰Mortgage holidays extended
💰Tenants told rent due in full
💰Viewings continue
💰Courts still open for evictions

For renters:

🧐 Non-binding guidance to bailiffs to pause some evictions & basically nothing else

BAN EVICTIONS NOW

[Greater Manchester Tenants Union @gmtenantsunion]

After announcing another mortgage holiday for homeowners, it's no surprise that the government has failed to implement an eviction ban to protect renters who can't make rent.

Time to join your local tenants union.

[Hull Renters' Union @HullRenterUnion]

If there's to be another lockdown then a ban on evictions is a bare minimum response to help renters. Either way, we're be ready to support those in Hull threatened with eviction.

[Hull Renters' Union @HullRenterUnion]

But nothing about rent 🤔

[BBC News (UK) @BBCNews]

Mortgage holidays extended for up to six months https://t.co/82x09auefm

[Hull Renters' Union @HullRenterUnion]

We are already helping people in Hull to stand up to their landlords. Sometimes it's as simple as knowing your rights when faced with harassment, as with one renter last week.

Get in touch and get involved as we continue to build power for renters in the city ✊

[Greater Manchester Tenants Union @gmtenantsunion]

Students at the University of Manchester are organising a rent strike - follow them for updates here: @rentstrikeUoM

[Safer Renting @SaferRentingCH]

Govt plans to deport foreign rough sleepers who dont accept accommodation https://t.co/z3ktSXgUYu Wont be council accommodation of course & this will allow criminals to further monetise misery with govt support "Take the shed or we'll deport you"

[Joe Lane @joeAlane]

I'm sure other people have covered this. But there were 269,000 more private renters whose housing benefit didn't covere their full rent in 2019 than there were in 2009. One of the reasons we now have a rent arrears crisis...

[Student Action Bristol @StudentsActBris]

We've now got over 800 sign ups for the rent strike ✊
This has the potential to be one of the biggest university rent strikes in recent history so join here at https://t.co/YWQXytgw8d

[Alice Martin @AlicePMartin]

The student halls safety crisis is such a clear example of why connecting important things like education and housing to asset speculation is a madness.

Tried to go to uni: got locked into an unaffordable, unsafe rental contract.

[Judicial Domicide @JDomicide]

We have 60 families at risk of mass eviction and displacement in Leeds if Planning is granted to demolish the houses they live in. We would like at least 60 retweets on the below tweet 👇 Please support if you can! @MPeakeOfficial @gmtenantsunion @HullRenterUnion @AnnaCCampaigns
