RRC Partners & Champions
“With a growing number of StepChange advice clients living in rented housing, we see first-hand the harm that insecure housing and the fear of eviction has on people struggling with problem debt. That’s why we are delighted to partner with the RRC and campaign with them for much-needed reform of the private rented sector."
"We support the Renters' Reform Coalition because every older person deserves a safe place to grow old. An often forgotten and overlooked group, a significant number of older private renters are particularly vulnerable. High rents leave one in three older renters in poverty after the rent is paid and they are less likely to have savings to fall back on. Older renters are more likely than older home owners to be unwell. Almost a quarter of a million older renters, nearly three in ten, do not live in decent housing. At Age UK we believe that older private renters deserve more security, particularly as their numbers are forecast to grow. That’s why we’re calling for changes to security of tenure for all renters, including an end to Section 21 or ‘no-fault’ evictions.”
“1 in 4 private rented properties in the North fail to meet the decent homes standard. That’s not acceptable. Levelling-up housing standards must start with giving renters the security they need to exercise their rights. That’s why we support the aims of the Renters’ Reform Coalition.”
