Norwich Renters Collective
Powered by Norwich renters, with support from Shelter.
About the campaign
The Norwich Renters Collective is a group for everyone and anyone who privately rents in Norwich, who’s had enough of an unfit and unfair housing system.
We're campaigning for:
safe and secure housing for everyone - starting with ending unfair no-fault evictions for private renters and introducing a national landlord register
affordable, fixed rent rates and building truly affordable social homes to take on the cost of renting
holding decision-makers and developers to account, putting the housing emergency at the top of the local agenda
safe homes, not scapegoats - Norwich should be a place of sanctuary for all
The reality is, renting in Norwich is at its worst. People are living in unsafe housing, rent rates are rocketing, and residents are being forced to leave their homes.
Together the Norwich Renters Collective is calling on politicians and policymakers to transform renting for good, getting organised in their community to kick-start real change, and building a collective that can't be ignored. This campaign has started a renting revolution in Norwich.

The campaign so far
NRC worked together with other local organisations to demand safe homes not the scapegoating of refugees
The NRC listened to renters across Norwich and captured their experiences of renters in the Listen Up Report.
We called on our local MPs to support the Renters Reform Bill and to scrap section 21 'no fault' evictions.
We launched the 'Make the Third Heard' campaign calling on Norwich City Council to deliver on their promise of 33% social housing at the new Anglia Square Development.
The NRC ran renting pub crawls to speak to renters and gather support to end Section 21 'no fault evictions'
We launched the 'Make the Third Heard' campaign
