💥 @lambeth_council's social care charges are unfairly siphoning benefits meant for disabled people, pushing them into debt. Time for immediate action. @clairekholland #ScrapCareCharges #DignityNotDebt

Our disabled member C has been waiting 17 YEARS for Hexagon to make basic improvements & repairs + fix the mould making him sick.

Instead they spent thousands in legal costs while their CEO pockets a six-figure salary 💰

RT to demand @HousingHexagon provide a #SafeHomeForC! 🏠

(1) Now that the Renters Reform Bill is being considered, it is more vital than ever that Disabled people are able to access our rights as tenants. Our briefing outlines rights and responsibilities, and how to take action with groups like @LDNRentersUnion @HAWRNet and @ACORNunion

BREAKING: Housing minister Rachel Maclean commits to end section 21 by Autumn!

The tories have tried to kick this into the long grass for years, but the strength of the renters movement has forced them to deliver change.

Now we must up the pressure to end unfair rent hikes!

[London Renters Union @LDNRentersUnion]

Today, we're taking our fight to Westminster as part of the @RentersReformCo to demand the government finally abolishes no-fault evictions.

If the government is serious about keeping people in their homes, it must also stop landlords using rent hikes to force people out!

[LRU Disability Justice Caucus @LRUdisability]

@Victoria_Spratt @redditchrachel @RentersReformCo Why doesn’t the Renters Reform Bill include anything aimed at protecting disabled renters from marginalisation?!

On Clarion's website, they commit to treating tenants 'fairly and with respect' 🤡

Our member R has been forced to live in their unsafe housing for 9 years and is consistently ignored when she speaks out

RT to demand that @ClarionSupport provide a #SafeHomeForR! 🏠

[London Renters Union - Haringey @HaringeyLRU]

Our member R has lived in unsafe Clarion housing for 9 years.

Clarion's neglect has severely impacted her health and she has been referred to hospital.

We demand a meeting with @ClarionSupport and a #SafeHomeForR!

[Campaign for Real Care @RealCareUK]

1/4 In the NHS budgets are set based on demand. Demand is determined by honest assessment & recording of all needs by health professionals. When demand isn't met, waiting lists happen. Then public pressure is put on governments not health professionals to increase budgets.
