Demonstration against Housing Bill – 5th January
The Housing Bill is a major threat to the right of unemployed and low-waged people to stay living in London. Among its main proposals are:
- Enabling Housing Associations to sell off their homes, similar to the Councils Right To Buy schemes
- Introducing ‘Pay To Stay’ schemes that could force families in council flats with an overall income of £40,000 in London (£30,000 everywhere else) to pay the market rent
- Changing secure council tenancies to fixed contracts of 2-5 years, after which they could be evicted
