Has tenancy law reform caused disinvestment in the rental market? Not so far, but maybe it should? …could encourage incompetent landlords to cash out of sector? Excellent new research by @dr_chris_martin and colleagues. #rentinginAustralia @AHURI_Research

Here's a quick thread about government, social housing and the lack of regulation to ensure tenants have some protection when housing management goes wrong. Because... well... there is a certain level of hypocrisy from current ministers which can't be left unaddressed

Appalled by news today of a pilot programme with GPs 'prescribing' heating for patients with health conditions likely to be made worse by cold and damp. Further medicalising poverty and loading problems onto the NHS because of the failure of other parts of the system. 1/7

I’ve been collaborating on this piece with @GuardianAus for months, and I could be more excited to have it out in the open. Please read and share to highlight the urgent need for better protections for renters (and you’ll understand my PhD topic) theguardian.com/australia-ne…

Lots to take from this morning's closing statements at the Grenfell Tower Inquiry, but this from Danny Friedman KC is probably worth sharing. The inquiry has shown a world absent empathy. As well as all the technical stuff, that needs to change

What’s driving England’s housing crisis?
In part, it’s because we’re now a country of *multiple* home ownership and private renters.
In the last 20 years the proportion of adults owning multiple homes doubled, the %s of 16-34 y/os buying a home almost halved. 🏘️🧵
ALT Graph entitled: Since 2000 the number of adults who own multiple dwellings more than doubled, at the expense of younger audlts; the number of 16-34 y/os buying or owning their own home has almost halved. It shows the number of adults aged 16-34 owning their home has fallen by 15m between 2000 and 2020, and the numbers of adults owning multiple homes has increased by 1.7m over the same period.

All housing tenures include some crap homes, but some tenures are far more likely to provide crap homes than others.
Incentives in the PRS are clearly broken, especially where homes are older. Landlords won't invest if benefits accrue to tenants who can't afford to pay more.

Online workshops today will discuss govt proposals that disabled residents should not have evacuation plans - even in buildings with major fire risks.
In the past, disabled residents have been shut out of these discussions. Details on how to join below:

Extraordinarily disingenuous. The govt’s own evaluation of its right to buy extension pilot said it was unlikely every home would be replaced and “replacement homes will be on average smaller, at higher rents and include more homes for shared ownership and fewer for rent”

The fifth anniversary of the Grenfell Tower fire is a week today.
The shocking revelations from the inquiry have been heard by too few. So here is a thread which I will update over the next few days with some of the things you may have missed:
