No wonder Southwark Council opted NOT to fine Rachel Reeves for illegally raking in £40,000 for an unlicensed rental - their Cabinet Member for Housing was doing the same thing!
Southwark’s Cabinet Member for Housing resigns after not having the same licence as Rachel Reeves Just like the Chancellor, he said he found that his letting agent had 'allowed these properties to be let out without the appropriate licences' https://t.co/Pzf3olgeZL

This act improves security, access, and raises minimum standards for renters. But it doesn’t do nearly enough to address unaffordable rents. Which is why ACORN will continue to campaign on tenants’ rights and fight for rent controls!

@PeoplesAudit @DemolitionsLdn @pete556 @GreenPartyScott @LibDemDonna @HousingActionSL @lswaffield1 @cplocal @brixtonbuzz That's precisely the question! Despite Lambeth Council claiming they urgently need our homes for the homeless (whilst completely skipping past the fact they'd be making us homeless in the process), many of the former HfL Tenants' homes are still empty. Why???
