JUST 2.5% of private rented homes are affordable for people receiving benefits. We were proud to join @crisis-uk.bsky.social & others in Westminster today calling on the Chancellor to UNFREEZE local housing allowance to match the true cost of rent in next week's budget.

Our Head of Campaigns @nyejones92.bsky.social told @theguardian.com why landlords MUST be held accountable for the poor quality of our homes. www.theguardian.com/money/2025/n...

The Renters’ Rights Act will be put into action on the 1st of May 2026! Listen to our Chief Executive, @bentwomeyuk.bsky.social, explain to @lbc.co.uk what NEW RIGHTS will be given to tenants. 👇

We have a date for the enactment of the Renters’ Rights Act. Excellent news for millions of private tenants across the country.

UPDATE: The Renters’ Rights Act will be put into action on May 1st 2026. This means Section 21 Evictions will no longer be ISSUED after this date!

Last month, the Renters' Rights Act became law! We recently celebrated by bringing together the campaigners, politicians, and renters who have worked towards this moment for a decade. Here's what they said about why this change is so needed 👇 www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfEu...

If this comes to pass then it really will be superb news.

Since the ban on ‘no fault’ evictions was first promised in 2019, over 100,000 private tenants have had their lives torn up by a Section 21 eviction. Renters need to know when the ban will actually come into force. It can't come soon enough. www.crisis.org.uk/media/tn1i1h... @crisis-uk.bsky.social

Our Head of Campaigns, @nyejones92.bsky.social, gave evidence to Parliament about the shocking costs of renting. Read more about what else was said: www.insidehousing.co.uk/home/afforda...

Spring cleaning the office and so pleased to be able to throw out a no longer relevant banner… once it comes into force in the coming months, notice periods will double under the Renters’ Rights Act if a landlord evicts to sell their home or move themselves or a family member in!

Our Head of Campaigns, @nyejones92.bsky.social, spoke to Parliament about the damp and mould renters are forced to live in, despite paying skyrocketing rents for their homes. Watch 👇

REMINDER: Check your local council website to see if your landlord needs a licence, and has got one. If they haven’t you could claim back up to 12 MONTHS of rent and be PROTECTED from a Section 21 Eviction!

A brilliant event with brilliant people, thanks for bringing us all together @rentersreformco.bsky.social!

Selective licensing is used by councils to improve housing standards for renters. When someone as senior as the Chancellor fails to comply, in undermines the entire system. Leadership means setting an example. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

"A home should be where life happens, not where fear lives." Read my article for @generationrent.bsky.social in @thetimes.com on why the Renters’ Rights Act is a giant step forward 👇 www.thetimes.com/life-style/p...

The Renters’ Rights Bill has now become an Act. This means unfair Section 21 evictions will be abolished soon. Our Chief Executive, @bentwomeyuk.bsky.social , explained the impact of S21 to @bbc5live.bsky.social 👇

“A home should be where life happens, not where fear lives.” Our Chief Executive, @bentwomeyuk.bsky.social, wrote an op ed in @thetimes.com about the Renters’ Rights Bill becoming an Act Read here: www.thetimes.com/life-style/p...

Homes are the foundations of our lives. Evictions shatter those foundations. Last night the Renters' Rights Act became law, paving the way for the end of S21 evictions. The Government must bring in the changes ASAP to prevent more renters like Christina experiencing this turmoil.

We did it! More than a decade of campaigning led to this moment. The most heartfelt thank you to every supporter, employee, volunteer, funder and ally of @generationrent.bsky.social. It certainly hasn’t been easy, but together we’ve secured the biggest reforms to private renting in a generation!

So much worth celebrating! Huge thanks to @matthewpennycookmp.bsky.social for steering this through Parliament. And well done to @generationrent.bsky.social team and all those who’ve campaigned so hard for this over many years.

Our Deputy Chief Executive, @danwilsoncraw.bsky.social, has worked to end Section 21, no fault evictions for over a decade. Now unfair evictions are being abolished, you can read his reflections in his @BigIssue op ed below. 👇 www.bigissue.com/opinion/rent...

Our coalition of housing organisations has campaigned tirelessly over five years for the monumental changes secured in the Renters' Rights Bill. This is what's possible when we work together 💪

Brilliant news, Ben - and congratulations to you, Generation Rent and the wider renter rights movement for the energy and persistence you've put into making this day a reality.

The Renters' Rights Bill has been APPROVED by the House of Commons! This is the final step before the Bill receives Royal Assent, which we expect shortly. No more amendments, no more debate - renters' rights are coming.

"Today is a momentous day" says Housing Minister @matthewpennycookmp.bsky.social, rightly proud of the Renters' Rights Bill as it passes its final hurdle without needing a vote. Waiting for the King's signature in next week or so, when date will be set for ban of Section 21 'no fault' evictions!

“No one would claim our homes aren’t essential” Our Chief Executive @bentwomeyuk.bsky.social was in @theipaper.com this week to speak about what renting should look like. Read for more: inews.co.uk/news/why-hou...

So excited to host our Renters' Rights Awareness Week webinar later, reflecting on the ending Section 21 campaign - not quite over the line yet, but feels right to pause and reflect. Please join me, the formidable @danwilsoncraw.bsky.social, and more at 6pm: www.generationrent.org/renters-righ...

Last night, the House of Lords blocked attempts to weaken the Renters’ Rights Bill, a huge win for renters. The Bill now heads to the House of Commons for final approval before Royal Assent. More here ➡️ www.generationrent.org/2025/10/15/r...

🚨GREAT NEWS FOR RENTERS🚨 Last night, we defeated last-ditch amendments that would have weakened tenants' rights and shifted power back towards landlords. The Bill now just needs sign-off from the Commons (and the King) before becoming the Renters' Rights Act!

Homes are the heart of family life - but an insecure rental sector is part of why young couples are putting off having children. @darlingtom.bsky.social tried to appeal to delegates at #CPC25 about why strengthening renters' rights is pro-family.

"What happens when a landlord sells their home? It doesn't sink into the ground - there's no dynamite put underneath it." @darlingtom.bsky.social spoke at Conservative Party Conference on why some landlords selling up won't be bad for renters #CPC25

Great to take part in a number of events last week at #LabourConference. This one hosted by @labourhousinggroup.bsky.social was a highlight, where MPs @naushabahkhanmp.bsky.social & @joepowell.bsky.social promised to stand up for the Renters’ Rights Bill and resist all attempts to water it down.

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 👇
