CLES is the national organisation for local economies - developing progressive economics for people, planet and place. We work by thinking and doing, to achieve social justice and effective public services.

Secure, sustainable housing and the fair ownership and management of land and property underpin well-functioning local economies, and we are proud to support the important work of the Renters’ Reform Coalition.

"We are pleased to support the goals of the Renters' Reform Coalition. Our report 'Poverty in later life' published in January 2022 confirmed that older renters are significantly more likely to enter poverty past State Pension age. Older private renters are also more likely to live in houses with damp and in houses in need of repair.

Independent Age has called on the government to keep its promise to introduce the Renters Reform Bill in this parliament. This Bill must include commitments to scrap Section 21 'no fault' evictions and to introduce secure and standardised 'lifelong deposits'”

JCWI is proud to support the Renters' Reform Coalition because we believe there is no place for discrimination in renting. The 'right to rent' scheme is part of the Government's Hostile Environment, designed to make life in the UK impossible for people without secure immigration status. Evidence shows this reckless policy make it harder for migrants and British people of colour to rent a home. It must be scrapped, once and for all.

Localis is an independent, leading not-for-profit think tank that promotes neo-localist ideas through research, events and commentary.

We support the Renters’ Reform Coalition because a secure and family-friendly private rented sector is essential to building the fabric of successful and sustainable communities.

"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.”

Medact is a UK charity for global health, working on issues related to conflict, poverty and the environment.

The Housing Law Practitioners Association is a forum for all those who practice housing law for the benefit of the homeless, tenants and other occupiers of housing. The system does not work for our clients. Private tenancies do not provide the security needed for a stable life, especially for vulnerable tenants or those with children. Social housing and homeownership are for the few. S21 proceedings are rife with technical defences, but these are a delaying tactic in most cases. Due to advice deserts or lack of eligibility, many tenants cannot access legal aid to defend possession proceedings. HLPA supports the Renters' Reform Coalition to create a workable, stable system which treats houses as homes, not merely assets.

akt supports LGBTQ+ young people aged 16-25 in the UK who are facing or experiencing homelessness or living in a hostile environment. Growing numbers of LGBTQ+ young people renting in the private rented sector are vulnerable to experiencing homelessness or finding themselves without a home again. If we are to end homelessness and housing insecurity, urgent reform of the private sector is needed. More work also needs to be done to ensure that the private rented sector is inclusive of LGBTQ+ people. This is why akt is proud to partner with the Renters' Reform Coalition.

TANT was formed in 2002 by a group of National Trust tenants to work to raise standards for all. We support, advocate and campaign for all residential and commercial tenants, tenant farmers, long leaseholders and covenantors of the National Trust.

We are pleased to support the coalition’s campaign, and will be raising awareness of key issues facing survivors of domestic abuse in the private rented sector. The coalition’s vital principles of stability and affordability, safety and a just housing system are particularly crucial for survivors of domestic abuse, and the Renters' Reform Bill must deliver systemic changes in this regard.
