Migrants didn't sell off our council homes and push rents through the roof. The government and landlords did.

Average rents up 8.4% in the last year. That's higher than inflation. Higher than increases in our wages. Year on year, we are seeing a mass handover of wealth from ordinary people to the asset-wealthy and the government is enabling it. We need #RentControlsNow.

It can be hard to challenge a #Section21 eviction by a private landlord because they don’t need a reason to evict you. But you could challenge the notice if they didn’t serve it in the right way. Read our advice: shltr.org.uk/1fcHO
