TOWER HAMLETS DISPUTE LAUNCHED 👉👉 After the death of his mother, Daniel was told by @ClarionSupport that he would not be able to succeed her tenancy, despite it explicitly being allowed in the tenancy agreement, which left him and his father with no housing security (1/)

💥SUCCESSFUL EVICTION RESISTANCE 💥

When renters unite we stop evictions! Members in Hackney blocked our member's doorway AND members in Newham took a visit to the Estate Agent who had threatened to evict our member today.
Together we made sure the eviction didn't happen!

[Solidarity Detainee Support (SDS) @sdetsup]

.@turnertownsend drop the contract with the Home Office. Stop profiting from the incarceration of migrants. No immigration reporting centre in Newham, no reporting centres anywhere! #CutTheCollaboration

[London Renters Union @LDNRentersUnion]

Renters at @GroveRenters asked their billionaire landlord @YianisCY for rent relief bc of covid. Their letting agent responded by threatening to sue 😡 When the evictions ban lifts some could be made homeless

.@YMCA_NL & @YMCAEng_Wales plan to evict a LRU member on Monday.

PLEASE RT to tell the YMCA: If you try to evict, you're breaking the law

Our member has a tenancy, YMCA has no possession order & the gov has paused evictions. YMCA know this: we emailed them (they've not replied)

[London Renters Union @LDNRentersUnion]

BOOM. *2,500* renters have now joined us: they #CantPayWontPay

We're withholding rent from our landlords, to force the government to protect renters.

Some furloughed workers are getting paid less than the minimum wage.

I asked the Chancellor to ensure they get paid the full minimum wage during the crisis.

He told them to find a second job.

URGENT

A London renter has been evicted from their home in Brent. The landlord changed the locks of the house this evening.

@RobertJenrick - asking landlords to be "compassionate" or "reasonable" doesn't work. Renters need real protections
