“4.4 million households in the private rented sector are crying out for change. Everyone should have a secure home, in a decent and safe condition, that they can afford. Changing the law to help renters is long overdue – and that’s why I’m supporting the Renters Reform Coalition.”

"The Renters' Reform Bill must be prioritised - the fear of eviction caused by S21 can stop households from establishing roots in local communities and at a time when wellbeing and belonging is at an all-time low, we should be easing these anxieties. Our biggest issue now is stopping mass homelessness - prevention at a time of severe crisis is the only answer."

"We’re proud to be a partner of the Renters' Reform Coalition. We’re now in our seventh decade supporting people facing housing crisis, at risk of homelessness, and those experiencing homelessness across Bristol. We exist because everyone deserves a safe, secure and affordable place to call home. For too many people in our city, safe and secure renting has become increasingly difficult to access, while Bristol is consistently listed as one of the most expensive cities in the country to rent in. While recent reforms to rental laws take us in the right direction, we urgently need greater security and affordability for private and social renting in Bristol and beyond."

"We support the Renters’ Reform Coalition because everyone deserves a safe, secure, and stable place to call home. At Salford Loaves and Fishes, we work alongside people experiencing homelessness, poverty, and severe hardship, many of whom are affected by insecure and unaffordable housing. Too often, people are forced into crisis because of rising rents, poor housing conditions, and the constant threat of eviction.
For those already facing financial difficulties, the loss of a tenancy can have devastating consequences, increasing the risk of homelessness, debt, poor mental health, and social isolation. We regularly see the impact that unstable housing has on individuals and families who are struggling to rebuild their lives.
We believe renters deserve greater security, safer homes, and a housing system that provides dignity and stability. That is why we support reforms that strengthen tenants’ rights, improve housing standards, and stop unaffordable rents. Everyone should have the security of knowing they can remain in their home and plan for their future without fear of losing it unfairly."

"We should all have a safe, healthy and affordable place to call home. This is crucial to our health and wellbeing, our family and work life, and our dignity. However, millions of people across the UK live in homes that are insecure, unaffordable, and poorly insulated, with damp, mould and disrepair. It doesn't have to be this way. We know that everyday people have the ability to shape the world around them by working together.
We support the Renters’ Reform Coalition’s aims and working collaboratively with partners to build power and win change."

We are delighted to join the Renters' Reform Coalition. Instead of leaving organisations to lobby for change in isolation, the coalition brings us together as a united voice to fight for renters. The tenancy deposit return process in the UK is overly complex, deterring tenants from fighting for a fair outcome. We look forward to working with the coalition to lobby for reform, closing loopholes exploited by landlords, and ensure a faster and fairer deposit return process for all tenants.

We support the Renters' Reform Coalition because everyone deserves a decent and dignified life. The state of the private rented sector is anything but this. Over 1 in 5 private renters live in homes which fail basic standards, while the majority spend substantially more of their income on rent than those in other tenures.
The alternative is building a society where everyone has safe, secure and genuinely affordable housing and people can exercise real agency in their homes. That means redesigning how our housing system is owned, operates and in whose interests. With unaffordability, inaccessibility and poor housing quality rife in the private rented sector, reform for tenants is an important part of that puzzle.

We stand with the Renters Reform Coalition because housing is a powerful tool that can be used to address deepening structural inequalities. Black and Minoritised Ethnic renters often face discrimination at every stage of their tenancy and are disproportionately affected by poor housing and overcrowded conditions.
At Voice4Change England, we recognise that secure housing is fundamental to our mental and physical health, education, environment, relationships, communities, income, and dignity. We strive for an anti-racist rental market that acknowledges and addresses the realities of racism when renting – one that centres belonging, accountability, and the lived experiences of racialised communities.
