ResistRent Rises
If your landlord is asking for extra rent when you can afford it least, you're not alone. The cost of rent is out of control across the country, squeezing more and more of us out of our homes.
Renters have the right to resist rent rises. We need to use those rights, or lose them.
We are a network of tenants unions and community groups supporting renters to challenge rent increases through rent tribunals.
