In May, section 21 will be banned. But the government has done nothing to stop families like this being forced out of their homes and communities by rising rents. Ending section 21 was just the start. Now it's time to bring down the rents.

“While millions struggle to pay rent or live in temporary accommodation, overseas investors chase short-term profits with expensive build-to-rent developments that price out local people." We need rent controls and council homes, not wall street vultures raiding our communities.

Elderly people pushed into homelessness. Whether young or old, currently in work or not, our lives are being wrecked by a system designed to enrich the few. We must fight to cut the rent and put homes back in public hands.

Government looks more and more likely to miss its 1.5m housebuilding target. Private developers are unable or unwilling to fix a housing crisis that they benefit from. Just like after WW2, we need rent controls and a massive publicly funded council house programme.

Rip-off rents are a political choice. Together, we must organise and fight to cut the rent.

From housing to utilities, profiteering is destroying our lives. We pay sky-high rents for some of the coldest and leakiest homes in Europe while landlords and energy bosses get rich. Together, we have the power to win a system that puts our needs first.

Labour government logic: Buying up tickets you don't need and reselling them at exploitatively high prices for profit. Bad 👎 Buying up homes you don't need and renting them out at exploitatively high prices for profit. Good👍

Section 21 eviction ABOLISHED 1 May 2026. This is a huge victory for organised tenants. But the government has left us unprotected over the Winter. We must get organised and defend each other from homelessness. Once S21 is history, we can push forward for rent controls.

"Stop listening to landlords." LRU member Joe on BBC Radio London yesterday talking about the Renters' Rights Act and why the government needs to start putting ordinary renters before landlord profits.

Deadline tomorrow! ⏰

🏆 WORST landlord of the year nominee! ⚠️ Our member fell through the bathroom floor. Then the landlord served a section 21 eviction notice, followed by an enormous rent increase! It's time for the landlord Andrew Harvey - a councillor in Kent - to sort it out!

One week to apply for our Campaigns Organiser role!

When dozens of infants are dying in temporary accommodation, when 100,000s of private renters are trapped in unsafe homes, it is unacceptable for the Chancellor to flout what scant protections tenants have. Reeves must resign.

🙌 HUGE WIN! 💪 The Renters' Rights Bill abolishing section 21 is now LAW. This is a massive victory for renters. It gives us more power to fight for wider transformations like rent controls. The government must introduce the new laws IMMEDIATELY to stop last-minute evictions.

💥 We're hiring! We're looking for a new Campaigns Organiser who can support LRU members to take on our rigged system and win big changes. If that's you, find out more and apply below! 👇 bit.ly/LRU_Campaigns_Organis…
