Renters’ concerns are too often ignored, their rights too easily neglected. The Grenfell tragedy provided the starkest reminder of this. But MPs will soon be debating a new bill that’ll empower renters to take legal action over unfit and unsafe conditions, allowing them to raise issues relating to fire safety.

Please sign our petition in support of this bill right now. Together, we must speak out to demand that MPs come together and seize this opportunity. If this bill isn’t supported by enough MPs, it simply won’t pass – and the chance will be gone.

Dangerous homes

As well as fire safety, the bill will also cover other dangers like asbestos, electrical hazards & toxic mould. Currently, one million private and social rented homes have risks that pose a serious threat to health and safety. Too many of us are renting homes that aren’t fit for purpose.

Signing our petition is easy – and in doing so, you’ll be supporting a bill that has the potential to save lives. A bill that would’ve given Grenfell residents a meaningful route to address the concerns they raised over and over again.
