This is a national disgrace. The homelessness crisis isn’t an unavoidable fact of life, it’s the direct result of political choices made by those in power. And as those choices have been made, they can be unmade. But only if we’re organised and willing to fight for it. We are.

"You are a person that I am satisfied can cope and function reasonably well with ‘day to day’ living and this would, I believe, still be the case if you were to become homeless or to remain homeless.” This is genuinely disgusting. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
2023 was the worst year for homelessness caused by Section 21 evictions - and we still don't know when they'll finally be scrapped
Head over to generationrent.org/take-action/ to help make renting fairer for all. 🚨‼️
Homelessness caused by section 21 has been the highest it has ever been 🚨 We are urging the government to strengthen protections for renters when the House of Lords debates the Renters (Reform) Bill, so evictions don't cause so much hardship, stress and homelessness
This is what a lack of regulation looks like, a landlord has the power to kick you out and find someone who can afford to pay 30% more. This behavior has no room anywhere, let alone the private housing sector. It's extortionate and dangerous.
'They promised this five years ago' Hear how @BenTwomeyUK explains the weaknesses of the Renters Reform Bill.
I should be on @BBCLondonNews this evening after 6:30, talking damp and mould in rented homes for @genrentuk.
This thread is really insightful, the fight for fair housing won't stop until we get a good deal 👇

NEW: Latest @TheNewsAgents Investigates - Britain’s hidden homeless children Nearly 140,000 kids in Britain are now homeless, in so-called “temporary accommodation”. We went to a school where half of the kids don’t have a home to call their own. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the…
Great to see @lewis_goodall take on temporary accommodation - the number of people, including children stuck in these unsafe homes ought to be a national scandal.

High, unregulated and inflated rents are backing ordinary people into a corner. Either we pay up or we pack up. theguardian.com/money/2024/apr…
'Nothing for the tenants everything for the landlords.' Hear Generation Rent's policy and public affairs manager, Conor, talk about how this bill is bigger than point scoring. It impacts the lives of millions‼️👏
Without abolishing Section 21, we will not see a real change in renting. We will still live under fear, landlords will still hold a lot of the power. 🫤

"#Housing is a hugely contentious issue," says @JustinWelby, Archbishop of Canterbury, from the launch of our #HomesForAll vision this week. But through cross-party commitment to long-term, system-wide change, we can design a better future for England’s homes. #HousingPolicy
The Scottish Government has reached the end of their power sharing agreement. Amidst all of that, our CEO @BenTwomeyUK has decided to write a letter to the First Minister, about keeping housing a priority. 🏘️ You can read his letter here 👇 generationrent.org/2024/04/25/gen…
"That's making people homeless!" ⏲️Five years on from the promise to end no fault evictions, our Chief Executive @BenTwomeyUK tells Channel 4 News that the government needs to fix the law.

18K Followers 2K Following Everyone should have a fair chance to discover who they are and what they can become 🌟 #NowsOurChance See life through Sam's eyes 👁️⬇️Our Campaign Manager @a_darling_tom on @LBCNews last week explained why the watered down Renters (Reform) Bill will fail renters. But, Tom says, if he wants to pass the bill before the election, @michaelgove "is going to have to come to the table and deal with tenant groups".
This is a national disgrace. The homelessness crisis isn’t an unavoidable fact of life, it’s the direct result of political choices made by those in power. And as those choices have been made, they can be unmade. But only if we’re organised and willing to fight for it. We are.
NEW: England's quarterly homelessness stats are out - more bleak reading. There are 145,800 homeless children living in temporary accommodation - the highest ever recorded and up 15% on last year There are 112,660 homeless households - up 12% in a year and the highest on record
Over 25,000 households faced homelessness in 2023 due to section 21 - the highest on record. How much worse can it get before we see meaningful change? Here @j_davies92 outlines the changes to the #RentersReformBill that are needed to protect renters: nationwidefoundation.org.uk/the-renters-re…
Homelessness caused by section 21 has been the highest it has ever been 🚨 We are urging the government to strengthen protections for renters when the House of Lords debates the Renters (Reform) Bill, so evictions don't cause so much hardship, stress and homelessness
"You are a person that I am satisfied can cope and function reasonably well with ‘day to day’ living and this would, I believe, still be the case if you were to become homeless or to remain homeless.” This is genuinely disgusting. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
Tomorrow we begin recording our in-depth, original podcast series into Britain’s housing crisis, building on our 3 year investigation. Social housing conditions to the private rental crisis to a rise in homelessness. How we got here, where we go now. Can’t wait for you to hear it
2023 was the worst year for homelessness caused by Section 21 evictions - and we still don't know when they'll finally be scrapped
NEW: England's quarterly homelessness stats are out - more bleak reading. There are 145,800 homeless children living in temporary accommodation - the highest ever recorded and up 15% on last year There are 112,660 homeless households - up 12% in a year and the highest on record
yesterday, as i was moving the final things out of my home following my eviction, a guy turned up who turned out to be the new tenant. turns out the landlord has bumped the rent by *£700*. a 30% increase. the greed and cruelty of landlords in this country is outrageous.
"People with depression or anxiety could lose sickness benefits, says UK minister" The cruelty is the point. theguardian.com/politics/2024/…
I should be on @BBCLondonNews this evening after 6:30, talking damp and mould in rented homes for @genrentuk.
Please read this thread: @DAHAlliance #RentersReformBill #RRB #DomesticAbuse We continue to work with colleagues @genrentuk @RentersReformCo @Shelter @CIHhousing @womensaid to get the Bill renters deserve.
1/5 Last week @judith_vickress met with Minister Young. We reasserted our concerns that victims/survivors are being further disempowered by the amendment to increase the protected period. There is an assumption that v/s know their rights, can access advice & advocacy easily..
NEW: Latest @TheNewsAgents Investigates - Britain’s hidden homeless children Nearly 140,000 kids in Britain are now homeless, in so-called “temporary accommodation”. We went to a school where half of the kids don’t have a home to call their own. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the…
Great to see @lewis_goodall take on temporary accommodation - the number of people, including children stuck in these unsafe homes ought to be a national scandal.

Tory minister in the Lords confirms that the Leasehold and Freehold Reform Bill won't come into effect until 2025/26. That is painfully slow and suggests that despite taking years to introduce this unambitious legislation the groundwork has not been done. hansard.parliament.uk/Lords/2024-04-…
Note that this supposed “clarification” gives no date for the ban on Section 21 evictions, and no date even for the assessment of the county courts that the Government says they need to do before banning S21. It’s been 5 years since they pledged to abolish Section 21. FIVE.
There has been widespread misreporting about our landmark Renters Reform Bill. Please see our response here: dluhcmedia.blog.gov.uk/2024/04/24/cov…
"#Housing is a hugely contentious issue," says @JustinWelby, Archbishop of Canterbury, from the launch of our #HomesForAll vision this week. But through cross-party commitment to long-term, system-wide change, we can design a better future for England’s homes. #HousingPolicy
Good to get a shout out from shadow commons leader @LucyMPowell in yesterday's Business Statement, as she calls out the late tabling of amendments watering down the Renters (Reform) Bill.
I made the case for renters to Channel 4 News last night, the law can and must be better!
"That's making people homeless!" ⏲️Five years on from the promise to end no fault evictions, our Chief Executive @BenTwomeyUK tells Channel 4 News that the government needs to fix the law.
BBC Parliament subtitlers have had enough of the Renters Reform Bill Report Stage
