Take action for controls now!
Join us on 24 June in Manchester to call on mayors to back rent controls now
Sign up now to join us in Manchester on 24 June
Right now, housing costs are out of control, with a huge impact on people’s health and ability to raise a family. This government tells us that the solution to the housing affordability crisis is to build, build, build. We’ve got a better solution —control rents today, and build accessible council homes tomorrow.
On 24 June, seven mayors will be in Manchester at the Housing Leadership Symposium, discussing devolution and housing. Mayors are getting new powers on housing in 2025 — but these don’t currently include any powers to control rents, so we need to fight hard to make rent controls happen.
Housing developers will be at the conference too, trying to influence politicians to keep supporting them. But these same developers profit from the crisis, and are not the solution to it.
We need you to join us to make our call as loud as possible and to counter the voice of the developers inside the conference. Politicians local and national need to listen to what renters have to say and protect our interests over the interests of developers. This means controlling rents today and building accessible council homes tomorrow!
We’re also hosting a call on 11 June 5.30 – 6.30pm for anyone to find out more about the alliance, why we’re protesting outside the Housing 2025 Conference and how you can support the action on the day!
We’ll book coaches for any big groups travelling from outside of Manchester, so please let us know in the form where you’ll be coming from.
