Living Rent member and Wheatley Homes/GHA tenant Gordon was forced to live with mould and beetle infestations for nearly 2 years, which had a horrendous impact on his health. This government needs to legislate to force landlords to eradicate damp and mould in their properties

Protesters from @Glasgow_LR have called for an end to asylum seeker evictions, with up to 1,400 refugees in Glasgow facing homelessness by Christmas 🏠 Story by @GregBarradale here ⤵️ bigissue.com/news/activism/…
The housing emergency is the result of decades of neglect of our social housing and of corporations and landlords putting profits over tenants well-being. The council needs to pressure Mears to continue to house the 1,400 refugees who are being threatened with a mass eviction.

Wheatley Homes is refuting claims that two of its Glasgow properties are subjected to damp and mould. The social landlord says it’ll offer immediate help to any tenants who have issues. It’s as @Glasgow_LR members protest outside of its offices near George Square.
@GlasgowHousing @WheatleyHousing Your tenants and our members are outside your office trying to speak to someone in charge. #healthfirst #safehomes
If Manchester can do it, so can Glasgow. Glasgow needs accessible, cheap, green, and publicly owned integrated transport. We need to promote liveable cities not price people out of getting around.

Politicians should remember whose interests they serve. #HomesNotHolidayLets.
The licencing deadline can not be delayed again. It's beyond belief that the council's entertaining the idea. Landlords have had long enough to apply. It's not tenants fault that they have been complacent and ignored the deadline, but tenants will suffer if it is extended 🧵
This tragedy was avoidable. What will it take for our governments to take mould and damp in our homes seriously? It should be so obvious - NO ONE should be forced to live in mould or damp. theguardian.com/society/2023/a…
On #InternationalWomensDay we celebrate the women that have built and continue to build our movements. From Mary Barbour winning rent controls in Glasgow in 1915 to our members being at the front of the housing movement today, woman have always been at the heart of our struggle.
John Swinney and the Scottish government are slashing the budget for new social homes by 16%. We already have a shortage of social homes and yet the government is cutting the number further.

Greetings to all of our followers who are marking International Workers’ Day in Scotland and around the world. #MayDay
ONE WEEK TO GO! Have you endorsed the demands?! There is just over a week left to respond. We need as many tenants as possible to endorse our demands to ensure that we have actually affordable, quality housing in a time when it has never been more needed.
Just had an excellent chat with @Glasgow_LR, learning about housing struggles in Glasgow
We’re proud as a branch to be affiliated with @Glasgow_LR - precarious staff are also likely to face precarious housing, so our fights are always interlinked ✊🏻🏡 Which is why we’d encourage all members to back their New Deal for Tenants before April 15th livingrent.org/rent_down_righ…
🏠It's time for rent controls. 📈Alongside @Living_Rent - and as part of our local government manifesto - we need to see all council candidates stand with tenants against the #CostOfLivingCrisis. 💻Read more from @conor_matchett in @TheScotsman scotsman.com/news/politics/…
I just backed @Living_Rent’s response to the Scottish government consultation demanding rent controls and more say over our homes - will you add your name too? livingrent.org/rent_down_righ… #RentsDownRightsUp #Rentcontrols livingrent.org/rent_down_righ…
2 days ago Aberdeen City Council were in the press for commenting "home should be a place where people feel safe" but this morning they are evicting a young woman from her home due to rent arrears. Will you pause the eviction and let her set up a repayment plan?
🤔What can you do now? Add your name to the list of signatories endorsing our demand. livingrent.org/rent_down_righ… Share, share, share. In order for our voices to be heard we need as many tenants as possible to sign. Send the link to 10 of your friends to pass on!
@Glasgow_LR @GlasgowHousing @CaptainKim @ElaineMcdougal8 I will do my best to try and make it along. Unfortunately I do have other engagements on Sunday and it’s to short notice to change them but I’ll try and drop by.
Attended my first Gross Misconduct hearing today as a Rep, the member was facing being dismissed from the company. Very happy to say that we WON and the member has kept their job! 😁😁😁 There's power in a union, so join one!! ✊
