Help transform renting: create a fairer future

£37 could help us answer a call from a homeless family who urgently need help

Together, we can transform renting for good

Renting in England is a constant source of anxiety for millions. Renters face eviction for no reason, families with children are denied homes, and many suffer in silence, fearing eviction for speaking out against issues like mould and damp.

But together, we can transform renting for good.

With the support of people like you, we're making progress towards ending the housing emergency. Your generous donations mean we can stand with the people at the sharp end of a broken system, demanding the change that’s desperately needed.

Renters' Rights Bill

Right now, we’re at a pivotal moment: the Renters' Rights Bill.

If this bill becomes law, it will bring in a new era of safety and security for millions of renters in England.

Your donations and voices could help us keep the pressure on the government, ensuring this bill becomes law and creates lasting, positive change to the rental system.

The Renters' Rights Bill could:

  • outlaw no-fault evictions

  • prohibit landlords from discriminating against those receiving benefits or with children

  • establish a national landlord register giving renters essential information before entering a tenancy agreement

The government introduced the bill to parliament in autumn 2024, and now it must pass into law to grant renters the security and rights they deserve.

We have a chance to make an enormous difference in the lives of millions currently trapped in the anxiety-ridden uncertainty of renting.

Your donation won’t be restricted to a single project but will be used wherever it's needed most to help those fighting for their right to a safe home.
