@niamhkirk_ Renters can take out legal protection to challenge any such ban

[London Renters Union @LDNRentersUnion]

The average Londoner spends 53.6% of their income on rent. That's every penny you've earned so far this year.

It's time for #RentControlNow.

@carbdiem Make sure you get legal protection before you rent a property
The insurance policy landlords and agents don’t want you to take out!

[Verywise @veriwise1]

@Conor__OShea Renters will still need to enforce the law if @UKLabour do close this and many loopholes
We believe Renters legal expense policy is part of the solution

This government has had ample opportunity to legislate the Renters Reform Bill which would mean this OAP would have the security of his tenure @michaelgove but after 14 years renters are still kept waiting

My 81 year old dad received notice from his landlady. He hasn't done anything wrong, pays his rent, has been there for years, & is close with his neighbours.

She wanted to sell the place.

OK. Fair enough. That's property ownership and she has no obligation to consider the age of my father, his health, his connection to his small community.

So my rather amazing nephew offered to buy it. He's worked damn hard to be in a position to be able to, with a help scheme from work, and he convinced Dad it was not charity as it would be his first investment.

Landlady gets a valuation, nephew gets a valuation. They both say the same, and it is within nephew's budget. Brilliant!

"I want £50,000 more than that", says the landlady.

Nephew refuses, a 3rd valuation is arranged. They agree with the first 2.

"I'm not selling anymore", says the landlady, "But the old man still needs to get out".

The place is serviceable for Dad because he does not have most people's demands, he's not greedy. You can't fit more than a single bed in the one bedroom, the bathroom is absolutely teeny-tiny, the kitchen has no hob, no oven, Dad had to bring his own shelving unit for his food. It is not of a standard that most people want these days, but Dad loves it.

It is his home.

She could have the fair amount in her bank right now, and Dad could have a secure place he loves to live out his twilight years, but she'd rather evict an OAP on the off chance she can then squeeze more money out of the property than it is worth.

Greed is the scourge of our species.
