[Generation Rent @genrentuk]

Very worrying data from @CitizensAdvice. Renters lack the support they need to get them through this pandemic and so are relying on charities and organisations for help.

The government must to more to give private renters the support they need. #NoHomeAtRisk

[London Renters Union @LDNRentersUnion]

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

[ACORN the union @ACORNunion]

🏡 Calls are growing for the reintroduction of the eviction ban as England heads into another lockdown. We need an immediate end to all eviction proceedings, a permanent end to s21 evictions & a rent waiver for the duration of the crisis to protect renters https://t.co/U5LtAzkiIJ

IN-HOUSE OF CLEANERS

Today, all cleaners on the University of London contract have been brought in-house, following a relentless campaign that led to the in-sourcing of their reception-based colleagues and security officers earlier this year. (thread)

"There could be three times the current number of private tenants in rent arrears in England – affecting as many as 700,000 tenants and their landlords – in the next 12 months... warns an analysis by LSE London and Trust for London."

[ACORN the union @ACORNunion]

🏡 In light of the announcement over the weekend that England would go into another lockdown from Thursday, it is vital that the Government clarifies the situation for renters and lodgers as a matter of urgency, and puts a stop to all eviction proceedings immediately.

[Camden Housing Action Group @camdenactiongrp]

So landlords essentially get richer while the rest of us cascade into even more debt? #CancelTheRent

[BBC News (UK) @BBCNews]

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

[Paul Kershaw @1917paul]

8% of private renters and 7% of social renters have lost their jobs since #coronavirus struck - there must be no economic evictions https://t.co/vSY3eKIYew #CancelRent @HAWRNet

[Labour Tenants United 🌹🤝🏡 @LabourTenants]

Do tenants get to pay 20% less in rent then?

[Camden Housing Action Group @camdenactiongrp]

London is currently in Tier 2 - if you or others you know are being threatened with immediate eviction, this is 🚨ILLEGAL🚨 and you should get in touch ASAP so we can help! #Camden

We're kicking off our 'Save Renters Money' series.

🚫No advice like ‘stop eating avocados’ or ‘sublet your living room‘.
✅Only real ways renters can reclaim or save money.

Let's start with something easy. A thread on the rental experts you should follow.

[ACORN Cambridge @Cambridge_ACORN]

If lockdown measures are being re-introduced then we're going to need:

1⃣ An evictions ban

2⃣ An immediate and permanent end to Section 21

3⃣ A suspension of all rent payments

[Generation Rent @genrentuk]

Many of these private renters will face reduced incomes, redundancy, and falling into debt with their landlords.

Join our call on the Government to support these renters to pay their rent and protect them as we enter another wave of coronavirus. Sign our petition below 🏠

[Labour Tenants United 🌹🤝🏡 @LabourTenants]

With the delayed and now much deeper lockdown required to control the public health crisis now looming, Labour must recognise the economic crisis that follows such a huge shock to such an unstable economy.

Unemployment will spike.

Enough is enough. We must #canceltherent.

[Dr Julie Doughty @julie_doughty]

Is anyone mentioning that probably parents could afford to buy and cook food for their children if the UK didn't have a completely INSANE housing system that means almost their entire income/time/energy goes into keeping roof over head?

[Camden Housing Action Group @camdenactiongrp]

Feeling particularly helpless today? It's difficult, but it's important we try to channel that energy & focus into improving our local communities. We'll continue to fight for all of #Camden to keep ppl safe in their homes. Solidarity with all our Jewish neighbours & comrades ❤️
