Hassan's words will ring true for a dispossessed and forgotten mass of social housing tenants and residents. It is time we changed this landscape. Join SHAC's project for a democratic National Housing Union for All Tenants and Residents - shaction.org/a-national-hou….

SHAC Article: Social Housing in the UK: A Brutal War of Attrition shaction.org/2026/05/07/soc… As Hassan says: "Britain’s social housing accountability framework is, on paper, a layered structure of rights and remedies. In practice, it is a gauntlet specifically calibrated to wear tenants down ... The accountability gap isn’t a malfunction. It’s a design feature." That's why we're working towards a national, democratic Housing Union for All Tenants and Residents to rebalance the landlord-tenant power relationship.

Help put an end to the injustice - a simple solution, a powerful impact ...
SHAC@SHAC_Action

Our new Parliamentary Petition has launched. It calls for government to make it possible for tenants & leaseholders to pay disputed service charges to a court. The funds only pass to landlords if they can prove the charge's legitimacy within a set timeframe. Otherwise, the money returns to the tenant or leaseholder. Please sign and share, share, share! #EndServiceChargeAbuse petition.parliament.uk/petitions/7671…

While politicians have surrendered Take Back Control to vested interests, @FreeLeasehlders will keep fighting to put people in charge of their homes, money and lives. Be part of the growing rebellion to replace leasehold serfdom with true homeownership. freeleaseholders.org.uk/join

A Ward Councillor reviewed our evidence (see earlier posts) and agreed to help but Lambeth Council Leader @clairekholland (Labour) stopped her. We’re non-party political but did elected politicians close ranks to favour a £1bn Landowner over wrongly evicted tenants? More to come!

Markets don’t wait for politicians. Leasehold is killing London. Buyers are boycotting leasehold serfdom boxes. Taylor Wimpey pulls out of new apartment schemes. Now Sadiq Khan has his officials scramble to investigate leasehold service charges! mylondon.news/news/zone-1-ne…

This should be a matter of concern for all taxpayers. While government is hyper-focussed on individual Housing Benefit fraud, they are happy to allow landlords free rein to rip off the benefits system. We are asking @mtpennycook and @SteveReedMP to act.

SHAC Research: It's The Great Housing Benefit Heist! Landlords ripping off the taxpayer by siphoning off Housing Benefits for service charges to cover ghost services at extortionate rates. shaction.org/2026/04/13/the… Our new research, compiled from Freedom of Information Act requests to over 200 councils shows how the system fails to check the accuracy of landlord Housing Benefit demands. #endservicechargeabuse

"On Peabody-headed paper, the reviewer concluded that .... inaccurate statements had been made to residents, the MP, and the Housing Ombudsman Service." They get away with lies because they enjoy govt protection. Instead, these landlords need to be held to account.

Well done to Joseph for calling this out, but we cannot get justice alone - we have to unite the fight. Please join us on Monday to discuss how we collectively resist the extortion!

SHAC and Members in the News Our member Joseph got a service charge increase of 300%. His income didn't increase by 300%. His other household costs didn't either. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/… But @SteveReedMP and @mtpennycook protect landlords (likes Hastoe, a housing association in this case) who rip money from our pockets with these unjustified and extortionate rises. SHAC's fighting back. If you're affected, please join us.

I’ve just been blocked by Housing Minister Matthew Pennycook. My crime? Campaigning for fairer housing. Leasehold is a debt trap, destroys lives, and is decimating the flats market. @UKLabour promised to end it. Now they’re stalling... and silencing critics. @FreeLeasehlders

@realhansard @hughjarse1982 We are seeing average cost savings of 20% to 30% when leaseholders claim Right to Manage. That is not to be sniffed at.

We’ve got to do better than shared ownership and build-to-rent tower blocks. If only we didn’t have so many washed-up neoliberals in charge of housing policy @MayorofLondon @tomcopley
Alexander Brown@AlexofBrown

Exc: Angela Rayner calls for an increase in community-led and co-operative housing models in fresh intervention. She says: “Fixing the housing crisis will take fresh thinking and more homes built for communities and shaped by communities.” mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…
