The 'property owning nation' has turned out to be a nightmare for many, and private tenants are among the victims. Next to a precarious job, we now also 'enjoy' precarious housing, but at prime market rate. Time for Renters to Communicate, Organize and Act Collectively! But lets get to know each other first. Let's make a start at the Kilburn Renters Rights Social om Friday the 13th of September
Renters Rights Social Poster
Advice4Renters proudly presents the big Renters Rights Social to be held on Friday the 13th of September, 7 pm till late in The Albert on 1 Albert Road, Kilburn London. Thre RSS is part of Advice4Renters campaign to improve the rights and protections of
private tenants in particular, and to make renting secure and affordable in general. The event is meant to provide a platform to:
* communicate: share grievances and opinions about individual tenant-landord-agent relations in particular and housing dreams and nightmares in general.
* organize: in order to improve things, private tenants and other victims of the 'property owning nation' nightmare need a lobby, just like the landlords and mortgage lenders. Let's set one up!
* make plans to act collectively: once problems are identified, solutions must be proposed and enacted. Individuals are easily ingnored, organized collectives cannot be ignored so easily
This event will feature (amongst others):
* a chat with the Renters Right Witch:
Bring your tenancy agreement and have it assessed live on stage! Many of the restrictions a landlord or agent might have written into your contract may not be legal, nor enforceable. And what about repairs, your deposit, you name it! The Witch can tell
how much sway your landlord really has in practice, and what to do if conflict arises.
* tenants anonymous:
'I am a renter in the private sector and these are my sorrows'. Share and compare them with what others have experienced and hear how they have solved it. And what if you could change the rules? How would you organize laws, rules and regulations around
private tenancies, renting in general, and for the hack of it, how would you want to solve the housing crisis?
* a good overview over how tenants organize in London:
Advice4Renters is just one of many private tenants organisations. People active for tenants rights in London will be present to tell what their local groups are doing and planning for the future!
Of course, it's not all work and no play: Music, Food and Drinks will be provided
The entrance in free (but campaign contributions are of course welcome)
See You There!
