Volunteer to bring rents down!

Last year, after years of work from organised tenants, the government passed the Housing Bill and with it rent controls. Though this was a huge step forward, the landlord lobby undermined key parts of the bill ensuring the rent controls are riddled with loopholes. As a result it will be two years before any tenants feel any benefits of rent controls, leaving two years for landlords to hike up rents. Even when they come in, huge numbers of properties have been made exempt, leaving too many tenants without protections.

It’s clear that our political process is betraying us.

So we’re fighting back. It's clear the landlord lobby is powerful but we have something they don't have - strength in numbers. But we need to come together. Join us to support building a movement of people who are angry about their rent increases, who are angry about their landlords, who are angry about being evicted.

Outreach in Paisley to bring rents down!

This government has failed tenants. Join us for our weekly outreach to map our neighbourhoods and work to bring rents down!

Last year the Scottish government voted to implement rent controls, but it will be years before any local authority is able to declare rent control areas. 

Even when they are introduced, the rent controls voted on are riddled with exemptions that will leave a huge number of tenants in mid market properties and build to rent developments without any protections.

So we need to fight back. 

Come and join our door knocking to map our rents, build anger and fight to bring rents down.

Meet at 5.30pm for a quick training before we go out on the doors!

Please RSVP and we can tell you where we will meet this week.
