Come and join our focus group to discuss private renting and its impact on tenants who are disabled.
This is part of a series of focus groups we are running for people with different identities and experiences, notably marginalised identities on how Scotland’s new Housing Bill could help their experience of renting privately.
Tenants with marginalised identities are disproportionately impacted by poor quality housing, unaffordable rents, and abusive landlords.
Right now, the Scottish Parliament is scrutinising the Housing Bill. The Bill as it stands has huge potential to deliver huge changes for Scotland’s private tenants.
But it won’t unless we fight for it. That is why we are holding these focus groups. To undertake research that we can present to politicians as they discuss the Housing Bill. We are determined to fight to ensure that marginalised voices are not drowned out by landlords who claim to know what’s best.
Come along and share your experience of housing injustices and what you think the Housing Bill needs to contain to work for all tenants.
The focus group is only open to those who have the identity or experience listed above. They will be chaired by a person who shares the identity of those in the focus group. However they will be supported by a member of the Living Rent staff team who might not share this identity. It will be online and last for an hour.
The meeting will be recorded in order to be transcribed later. The testimonies shared in the group will then be anonymised and summarised in order to fit the report and key quotes and statements might be used to illustrate some of the key experiences and demands. The testimonies will be submitted to politicians as a written report in conjunction with evidence from a survey that we will run concurrently.
Register now and you will be sent a zoom link in advance of the session.
