Join Us To Make Renting Fair Once And For All

Published on

Here at The Debrief we've been campaigning to Make Renting Fair in England since the beginning of this year. We know all too well that this country's housing market is broken. There is no silver bullet, no simple solution and no quick fix. That's why we decided that one way of making life better for renters short term was to get letting agency fees banned, as they are in Scotland and have been since 2012.

Our campaign has had an overwhelming amount of support and the Change.org petition now has over a quarter of a million supporters.

On Thursday October 13th we’ll be delivering the petition to the Government’s Housing Minister, Gavin Barwell. This marks a significant point in the campaign and we look forward to hearing his thoughts.

We’ll be joined by Lib Dem peer, Baroness Olly Grender,she has been working to get her Renters’ Rights Bill through the House of Lords since earlier this year. Also with us will be Lib Dem MP, Tom Brake, who has also been raising issues with this country’s private rental market in Parliament.

If you’d like to join us on Thursday to share your stories about renting please do come along, we want to hear from you.

We’ll be on College Green in Westminster at 11.30am. You can RSVP and get more information here.
