Where there were once just two private tenants’ groups in the capital, there are now eight and counting, with boroughs including Hackney. All seeing new groups set up.

Will April be the month when letting agents wish they hadn’t pushed it quite so far? While it certainly isn’t going to solve all the problems.

The Partisan: November 2013
http://labourpartisan.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 19 November 2013. Interview on Let Down Renters Action. On Saturday as part of Let Down. Along with other members of private tenant groups in London, I was involved in occupying a flat in Stratford Halo in protest against the government's Build to Rent policy and more generally at the failure to address any of the problems that private renters face in London. I was interviewed by Dazed Digital. Who edited the interview quite extensively so I thought I'd post my original answers here. What did th...

http://rentergirl.blogspot.com/2014/05/this-is-why-we-hate-them.html
Monday, 19 May 2014. This Is Why We Hate Them. Letting agents wonder why we loathe them so vehemently; why we hate them with passion. They ask why anyone would introduce laws to control them. Commiserations then to English readers, who just last week lost the chance for laws similar Scotland, where fees and premiums charged to tenants are outlawed. 4 Cleaning fees. Tenants moving in or out both face this one, which again might be for work not completed. Tenants would do well to request receipts a...5 Che...

Renter Girl: July 2014
http://rentergirl.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, 20 July 2014. In certain places, rents are out of control. Mostly in London of course, but also cities and towns such as Aberdeen and Warwick – historically beautiful locations where building is controlled or limited. Rents here increase so fast and by so much that renting a home will soon be out of reach (buying a place is already impossible for many). As letting agents see how brazenly they can ramp prices. But now innovative cruel scourges scar the lives of already impoverished renters. By whi...
