The UK rental crisis is officially shrinking our lives. Nearly 1/3 of advertised flatshares now have NO living room, as landlords convert lounges to bedrooms to cover costs. 
-> Is a communal sofa too much to ask?

Excellent idea - more local authorities should do the same if they can.

LHAs cover around 50-60% of market rents. The exploitation of private renters is scandalous.
Build more social housing NOW, Labour.
Safe and secure housing is a right for all

My landlord refuses to allow us the therapy dog that L desperately needs, not just for company but also if he's to start leaving the house alone again.

We've offered to pay extra money on top of the rent, but no. Every time, it's just a flat no.

We were promised freedom, but what we got was access. And access comes with an invoice.

Rent became the price of entry, rights became products.

Housing, medicine, credit, even visibility... someone owns the toll booths that count as 'access'.

Smile a scream of thousands cuts
You feel the water's hot
You're a lobster with a landlord
Paying for the pot

Disappointing. LibDems have sometimes been better attuned to needs of drug users + the need for policies that reduce harm. Those of them on the London Assembly (maybe some think otherwise, elsewhere) also appear to be aligning themselves with landlords, not renters. #HarmReduction #GenerationRent

It's time we did something about rip-off rents - and my amendment to the Renters' Rights Bill would do just that. My column for @metro.co.uk ⬇️ #RentControls #GenerationRent

I’m sick of landlords treating renters like cash cows
It’s only fair that if the accommodation renters are being provided with isn’t decent, they shouldn’t be forced to pay for it.
