The misery of Housing Association tenants!

Why wont the left help tenants who are being oppressed by their housing association? Secure Housing is one of the most important issues to working class people?

Was out posting Whistle Blower leaflets today in the area of Kensington, were 640 houses are due for demolition. Saw what in my opinion was a traitor tenant and a guy from Riverside’s Community 7 housing association. These ruthless housing associations are now training their own tenants to go out to homeowners who are under threat of demolition and get them to fill forms in to become a prospective tenant of Riverside’s Community 7 if they agree to a price for their house, which C7 want to demolish.

Rumour has it that the homeowners, after receiving about between £25,000 to £35,000, will be assured the pick of the best few for rent new builds that will be built in the NDC area. Hundreds of private landlord tenants and Riverside tenants will be shunted out of the area with the promise of just three offers, (private landlord tenants one offer) which will be in crap area in hard to let properties, while certain homeowners and traitorous tenant cronies will be given the prime new builds in the area. If these less important tenants refuse the three offers they will be evicted.

Riverside’s C7 can not build new houses to put 400 tenants and private landlord tenants in so they are going to slowly move at least 300 poor tenants out of the New Deal area in phases.

C7 have already admitted that they are going to steal 100 former tenants houses, do them up at the cost of twelve grand and then sell them at a nock down price to homeowner’s e that are under threat of demolition. Is there any end to the treachery of certain homeowners and the ruthless housing associations? Were is the social justice in this behaviour?
