iPaper Interview Call Out

Anjola Fashawe is a journalist for the iPaper, and is researching cases of renters who have experienced house shares where they had limited access such as:

– No access to the kitchen on specific days
– No access to the living room 
– Other limited house share restrictions i.e. weekdays only 

If you have examples to share with Anjola, please contact her by the 28th August via anjolaoluwa.Fashawe@theipaper.com.


Please help lobby government for a scheme which allows tenants and residents to pay disputed service charges to the courts, only passing to landlords if they can prove the charge’s legitimacy. Otherwise, the money returns to the tenant/leaseholder. Please sign here.

Nextdoor Network – Recruit to SHAC
Join Nextdoor

Posting a message on the Nextdoor app is one great way to encourage tenants and residents from your landlord (or other housing associations) to join SHAC and build critical strength. It will help to raise awareness of SHAC’s work and to encourage more recruits to lobby the Government and get our voices heard.

Nextdoor is a Facebook-style social networking site that links people in the same locality. You can find out more and get set up here.
