At a climate event at #Lab25 - @generationrent.bsky.social CEO @bentwomeyuk.bsky.social asks what can be done to encourage renters to apply for grants they're eligible for, without seeing energy savings cancelled out by a rent rise or even being evicted to sell the property. Luke Murphy MP responds

Thank you to @matthewpennycookmp.bsky.social for meeting with us today. Along with @generationrent.bsky.social, we discussed the end of Section 21 evictions and the pathway to securing decent standards for rented homes. 🏡

Pleased to meet with Minister @matthewpennycookmp.bsky.social today and hear directly of his continuing commitment to getting the Renters’ Rights Bill passed into law, so we can finally end the nightmare that is Section 21 no-fault evictions. Need the House of Lords to help move this along now!

“We need breathing space now” New towns open up more affordable homes for the people that need it most, but renters need short term help NOW. Limiting rent rises is the only way to do so. Our Chief Exec @bentwomeyuk.bsky.social explained more to BBC Radio London ⬇️

Pleased to be part of so many conversations around housing at #LabourConference. This morning I’ve asked questions of MPs @lukemurphy.bsky.social, @florenceeshalomi.bsky.social, Joe Powell and Londons Deputy Mayor @tomcopley.bsky.social about renters’ rights and the cost of renting.

Yesterday, MSPs voted to deny new eviction protections for renters. @bentwomeyuk.bsky.social labelled the decision a "major backwards step", with Scottish renters soon to have the worst eviction notice periods in Britain if the gov doesn't change course. www.generationrent.org/2025/09/25/m...

“Rents are just increasing on a whim just based on what a landlord thinks” Our Communications Officer, Bismah Naqui, spoke to @bbc5live.bsky.social this morning about how more and more young people are choosing to live with their parents rather than rent. Watch here ⬇️

"Private landlord incentives are akin to pouring water into a leaking bucket: the harder they try to fill it, the faster it drains, with our public money lining landlords’ pockets" Our Head of Campaigns @nyejones92.bsky.social writing in @insidehousing ⬇️ www.insidehousing.co.uk/comment/coun...

Our Chief Exec @bentwomeyuk.bsky.social & Head of Campaigns @nyejones92.bsky.social were pleased to meet with @tomcopley.bsky.social today in City Hall. On the agenda was: ➡️ Soaring rents in London ➡️ Renters' rights awareness ➡️ Better regulation of short-term lets ➡️ The Devolution Bill

Labour Lord & donor Lord Alli evicted his tenants before hiking the rent by >£1k‼️ It's outrageous that a politician so close to government treats their tenants this way. We need the gov to outlaw Section 21 as soon as possible. inews.co.uk/news/labour-...

Pets are part of the family, but too many renters are denied this joy. The Renters' Rights Bill will give renters the right to have a pet. The Government must look to carry out the legislation ASAP so renters can benefit from their new rights. Watch @bentwomeyuk.bsky.social explain 👇

New stats are constantly telling us that rents are SOARING past our wages. Recent RightMove stats found that average rent costs are now unaffordable. Watch our Head of Campaigns, @nyejones92.bsky.social, on LBC News explain what needs to happen next 👇

We have just posted our open letter to Deputy Prime Minister, Angela Rayner, urging her to address the soaring cost of renting across the country. Thank you to everyone that signed! To stay updated on our work, make sure to follow our work 👇 www.generationrent.org

Huge achievement from our amazing funders at Joseph Rowntree Reform Trust. Proud @generationrent.bsky.social played our part registering 750,000 people to vote in the last five years. A lot of work that we hope won't need to be repeated - time for Automatic Voter Registration? It's a no-brainer!

Our latest research has found that local councils are sending TENS OF MILLIONS a year to private landlords to encourage them to house those experiencing homelessness. Read coverage of what we found in The Guardian: www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

NEW STATS THIS WEEK revealed that soaring rents have spread through major cities in England. We need URGENT action to slam the breaks on back-breaking rents. See our Chief Executive, @bentwomeyuk.bsky.social's, response to the stats in the @financialtimes.com ⬇️ www.ft.com/content/5a66...

London rents are out of control, and renters in the capital can’t wait years for affordable housing to be built. Our Deputy Chief Executive, @danwilsoncraw.bsky.social, lays out what must happen now to fix the crisis ⬇️ 
www.generationrent.org/2025/08/11/w...

The cost of renting in London is SKYROCKETING. The city’s key workers are being driven out. We need the government to stop runaway rents in their tracks to give tenants the breathing space we need. @bentwomeyuk.bsky.social, explains more to BBC Radio👇

Yesterday, our Deputy Chief Executive, @danwilsoncraw.bsky.social, and our Research Officer, Dr Ewan Brady, gave a fantastic presentation on how the deposits system needs URGENT change. Thanks so much to everyone that attended in person or online!

"Our homes are the foundation of our lives, and that foundation is daily shattered by landlords committing this sort of behaviour". Listen to @bentwomeyuk.bsky.social react to Homelessness Minister Rushanara Ali's resignation on Radio 5 Live.

Soaring rents are pushing people to breaking point. The Government can and must act to slam the brakes on the cost of renting. Want to play your part? Sign our open letter to Angela Rayner ⬇️ www.generationrent.org/campaign/tel...

Our Deputy Chief Executive, @danwilsoncraw.bsky.social , spoke to @skynewsrss.bsky.social yesterday about the IMPOSSIBLE task of trying to save for a home. We can’t save money when we are constantly playing catch up with soaring rents. The government must act urgently. Watch here:

Our research found millions of renters are missing out on hundreds of £s a year due to the out of date deposit system. In @thetimes.com our @danwilsoncraw.bsky.social sets out some simple solutions to make the system fairer and put more money in renters' pockets. ⬇️ www.thetimes.com/life-style/p...

It is bad enough when any landlord turfs out their tenant to hike up the rent, or tries their luck with unfair claims on the deposit, but the minister responsible for homelessness knows only too well about the harm caused by this behaviour… inews.co.uk/news/homeles...

Will the Renters’ Rights Bill end the temporary accommodation crisis? With the cost of renting still soaring across the UK, read my article for @redbrickblog.bsky.social 🏘️ redbrickblog.co.uk/2025/07/rent...

Nearly 4m renters struggle to pay energy bills according to @generationrent.bsky.social. I welcome plans to upgrade rental home energy efficiency. But we need stronger protections to ensure renters can benefit from these upgrades without facing rent hikes or evictions.

Nearly 4m renters are struggling to pay their energy bills and 3.5m are living with mould and damp. Great article by @bellribeiroaddy.bsky.social on why renters need protection against rent hikes after retrofit work, to make sure they enjoy their new warmer home ⬇️ labourlist.org/2025/07/comm...

Our latest research has found that renters are losing almost £169 MILLION every year because of the deposits system. Read our latest thread for a full breakdown, or The Mirror's coverage of our work: www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

BREAKING: Our latest research finds that around £169m of renters’ money is WASTED every year 🧵Read all our findings in the thread here:

If the price of everyday items had grown as fast as rents since 1988, a supermarket chicken would now set you back £53.76. The bill won't address this affordability crisis - we need further action. RRC campaigner @rosiedutch.bsky.social explained on LBC News earlier this week.

BREAKING: ONLY 1 in 5 renters who could challenge deposit deductions actually do so, we could be missing out on HUNDREDS of pounds when we move. Read coverage of our research in @theguardian.com article below👇 www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

More than half of UK households own a pet. They enrich people’s lives, providing love and companionship. It’s wrong that being a renter either prevents you from experiencing this or forces you to pay through the nose for it. Check out my article for @bigissue.com 👇 www.bigissue.com/opinion/rent...

BREAKING: The government have just announced that Automatic Voter Registration will be used in the next General Election. This means that renters will no longer be forced off the register because they have moved. Read our response below:

Does policing exist just to enforce laws, or is it bigger than that? I was pleased to talk all things drugs policing and diversion with Matthew Bacon, Senior Criminology Lecturer at Sheffield University. Check it out on @policingtv.bsky.social 👇 policing.tv/videos/matth...

The average unwanted move costs over £2k. Even with the ending of S21, landlords will still be able to evict to sell or move a family member in. 'Relocation Relief' would help prevent renters falling into debt, poverty or homelessness. ⬇️ www.insidehousing.co.uk/comment/evic...

🚨CAMPAIGN WIN The gov are increasing legal aid on housing issues for the first time in 30 years This means it'll be easier for people on lower incomes to access justice when facing evictions and homelessness More is needed, but this is a great start www.gov.uk/government/n...

"The more people unable to cover their rent with local housing allowance, the more people are in temporary accommodation." Today I gave evidence in parliament on behalf of @generationrent.bsky.social, sharing here Policy in Practice's findings that inadequate social security fuels homelessness.

LIVE: Our Chief Executive @bentwomeyuk.bsky.social, is giving evidence to the Work and Pensions Committee about cuts to Local Housing Allowance. Watch now 👇 parliamentlive.tv/event/index/...

Rents are soaring higher and higher, the cost is not just to our pockets, but also to our futures. Our Head of Campaigns, @nyejones92.bsky.social, explains further to LBC News 👇

I just asked my MP to support efforts in parliament to reduce fuel poverty and protect renters. Can you help @generationrent.bsky.social out by writing to your MP too? Everything you need is right here 👇 generationrent.eaction.online/MEESEDM

Since 1824, the Vagrancy Act embarrassed our nation as “punishment of idle and disorderly persons, and rogues and vagabonds”. Soon enough, let's hope, the very act of criminalising homelessness will itself be considered “rogue”. My article for @PolicingInsight 👇 policinginsight.com/feature/opin...

What does today's Spending Review mean for private renters? From affordable house building targets to the Warm Homes Plan, we've covered it all for you. Check out our latest blog to find out more info ⤵️ www.generationrent.org/2025/06/11/w...

🚨🚨GOOD NEWS FROM THE SPENDING REVIEW: Chancellor Reeves has now listened to our calls to fully fund the gov's Warm Homes Plan. The gov must NOW set rules so landlords can’t profit from renters when given energy grants.

Great news, 200 years later than it should have been, but great news anyway!! ⬇️
