As a landlord, @BhamCityCouncil received *15,000* complaints of damp & mould in the last 5 yrs. It's a HUGE NUMBER. We've shared some of the stories behind that number. What that number doesn't tell you is how ill, depressed & desperate people are, having to live with disrepair.

It seems a straightforward thing to ask of elected councillors/MPs - do you, or people you are closely connected to, own or have interest in property in the city that is rented or leased out? Not really sure why it causes such angst? birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-…

Big shout out for the amazing work done by @Anawim_BCW from Tom McNeil at #CostOfLivingCrisis

@JaneRockHouse scandalous scenes at #bcclive Full Council meeting as the Labour Council issues blanket ruling that all Councillors owning exempt accommodation DO NOT need to declare it when we discuss exempt accommodation later today!

While we're on hotels, 1000s of British homeless people in UK are placed in hotels. Families of five in one room, forced to move every 2-3 days. Children travelling 50 miles to school each morning because they live at a motorway services hotel. 12 years of Tory failure everywhere

People living in #exemptaccommodation are not included in homelessness figures. Rooms in poorly managed houses are not homes.

@BHAMFHC at #costoflivingbrum

We keep talking about the #costoflivingcrisis without recognising that we were already facing a #housingcrisis in #Birmingham. This is why we're asking @BrumLeader to declare a housing emergency because without a home, no one can function. We're at breaking point.....

In 2019 we had 12,927 households on the waiting list - now it's 17,307 In 2019 we had 6,480 children who were homeless...now it's over 8000..@BHAMFHC

We are still waiting for #birminghamcitycouncil to declare their promised #housingemergency

#CostifLivingBrum today at The Priory Rooms

@Paggey @joelycett can you share please?!

The Dream Team … Rare moment of nearly all the team in one room at the same time! So nice to spend some time together So much to update each other on … pumpkins, hives, outreach, wellbeing, coworking, fridges… what this space 👀

As someone who has supported people living in #exemptaccommodation for four years I can honestly say I have yet to see anything that directly benefits people living in often appalling conditions and without the ‘more than minimal’ support they are promised. #exemptconference

‘A Broken System’ #exemptconference

Incredibly powerful speech by @jessphillips at the #exemptconference in Birmingham calling for greater regulation from the #government. Couldn't agree more if abuse is to stop. Enough is truly enough.

Who are the ‘great providers’? They need to stand up and share good practice #exemptconference

Hoping to hear some positive stories and how we are going to hold landlords who exploit their vulnerable tenants to account #exemptconference
