The Renter Manifesto sets out the steps needed to ensure that everybody has a secure, affordable and decent home. We are demanding:
- Open-ended tenancies and an end to section 21 evictions
- Rent controls which bring down rents to 30% of local income
- Public investment in a massive public housebuilding programme
- Private rented homes brought into democratic public ownership
- A welfare system that supports access to safe, secure, affordable housing
- National database of landlords and rents
- Decent and safe private rented homes
- Decent and safe temporary accommodation
- Private rented homes to address the climate emergency and help end fuel poverty
- Private renters to have control of their homes
- Improve access to justice for private renters
- End Right to Rent
- End discrimination against benefit claimants
- Homes not assets
- Renters rights to organise
