The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
Accurate.
This week we’ve been disrupting viewings and letting prospective tenants know exactly what they’d be dealing with if they chose to move in, and members have declared a rent strike until their issues are resolved.
The tenants, united, will never be defeated!
🚨The rent strike in ON. 🚨
Solidarity with our members in Bradford standing strong and starting their rent strike! ✊
After repeatedly raising concerns about conditions in their building, residents are turning up the pressure.
When tenants stand together, they’re impossible to ignore.
🚨 ACORN BRADFORD MEMBERS ARE ON RENT STRIKE🚨
Members in an apartment block in Bradford have been dealing with issues for years including sky high energy bills, damp, mould, broken lifts, and even security issues so bad that someone broke into a flat and died in there.
“People that you would never think would need to use a food bank, you see coming in. I see lots of people who I know work full-time here.”
This is what a broken system looks like.
☀️ Britain is getting hotter every year and renters are being trapped in homes that are impossible to cool.
By 2050, 92% of UK homes are expected to overheat, yet landlords are still allowed to do the bare minimum while tenants are left to suffer through dangerous heat indoors.
Less than 48 hours is all that stood between this family and the protection afforded by the abolition of Section 21.
Now Linsey and her four children face being forced out of their home. We’re calling on Trinity Properties Trust to reconsider this eviction.

📸 It’s been a busy week for our union!
From stopping evictions, fighting against section 21s, securing compensation and repairs, warding off bailiffs, and a huge FOUR wins in one week for ACORN Bristol we’d have to say it’s been a job well done. Can’t stop won’t stop!
