SICKENS me that landlords can put rent up by 20% and that's just "the market" but a wage increase of 10% is considered a greedy demand. The landlord class and the employing class are the same people and now they've normalised in-work poverty they wanna force us out of our homes

Jas Athwal MP is a landlord with FIFTEEN properties.
Complaints about toxic mould were ignored.
One of his tenants was threatened with eviction by an estate agent for complaining.
Athwal said he doesn't rent to people who receive benefits, which is unlawful.
He must resign.

Landlords don't provide housing. They hoard it and demand half our income for access to it.
Rents are too damn high. Dangerous disrepair is common. The housing system has already "broken down".
Homes should be controlled by the people living in them.
@EmmaKennedy
I’m a “private landlord” so are many of your friends. Anyone who has held on to a flat they had before a relationship is a private landlord, over 40% of UK homeowners have a share in an additional property. The entire UK housing system would break down without private landlords.

We are increasingly seeing people like this 👇 use housing to stir up hate.
But migrants are among those MOST EXPLOITED by London's extortionate and unsafe private rental system. Most social renters are born in the UK.
We need more public housing available for EVERYONE.
To live on the Southbank in Central London, you'd pay £2,745 a month for a one-bed on average.
But immigrants in social housing, many of whom are unemployed, are paying ONLY £487 a month on average.
They are subsidised whilst you are extorted.
Not fair and must change.

The issue with our housing system is NOT that some people pay £487.
The issue is that anyone is forced to pay £2,700 for a 1-bed flat.
Cause = privatisation & profiteering.

📈 How UK rents got SO DAMN HIGH: explained in under 60 seconds.
⚖️ Rip-off rents are a result of political choices made 45 years ago and upheld by every government since.
It's not too late to undo this damage and bring rents down. But we must get organised.

Hundreds of people in Glasgow blocked an immigration detention van. They forced the police to release two people taken from their homes.

Hi
@RobertJenrick
. Lots of us can’t stay at home because we still have to pay rent. Those of us who’ve lost income are getting into rent debt and face eviction after the ‘eviction ban’ is lifted.
To protect our health:
🚨
#SuspendRent
now!
🏠 Make the evictions ban permanent

Berkeley is one of the developers Labour says can fix the housing crisis.
Its properties go for £650k+, 15x the average London salary.
In 2018, Berkeley was found to have reduced social/ affordable housing quotas in 93% of London developments.
These are not the homes we need.
Labour meets with developer Berkeley Group 🏗

3) The seminars are even more revealing.
Here we have Kane Andrews, private school OWNER and founder of "Rockstar Properties", admitting that his wealth is built entirely off the backs of other people’s hard work.
🤫 Psst, Kane! You’re saying the quiet part out loud!

Rising rents means the UK now has the highest rate of homelessness in the developed world.
But the major political parties aren't offering anything that would bring rents down.
No matter who forms the next gov, renters will continue to organise & fight for rent control.

Bekah was forced to move after the landlord demanded 70% of their total income, nearly an extra £5000 a year.
Rent caps. Now.

We're here in E11 to stop an illegal eviction.
Since the start of the pandemic more and more landlords are resorting to illegal eviction.

Reminder that nearly half of rented homes have NO mortgage.
Many landlords with mortgages *only* pay the interest.
Landlords have had it too good for too long.
Outrageous they're willing to force renters further into poverty & homelessness to keep massive profits going up.
