If the current swathe of short-term let applications get approved, does anyone have suggestions for legal #airbnb resistance activities? I’m thinking things that won’t get anyone in trouble, but will make life difficult for the company that’s buying up properties in this area. #edinburgh #ShortTermLets #LivingRent #HousingEmergency

LR: Fight Your Rent Hike

A Living Rent tool to fight rent hikes

Just attended eviction resistence training with #LivingRent. Good work done by good people, it's nice to see the union grow in power. Definitely feeling prepared to throw down with these folx.

📣 Calling all Partick Housing Association residents 📣

In April, #PHA (#PartickHousingAssociation) tenants and their fellow #LivingRent members won agreements from PHA to re-examine their #RentConsultation process, particularly its reach and security. But PHA have yet again released a survey that is badly publicised and not password protected. So, we are publicising their consultation event for them.

Go along this Thursday to ensure your views will be heard:
Thursday 7th December, PHA Boardroom
Two slots: 3:30 - 5pm or 6-7:30pm
All PHA #Tenants welcome. #Glasgow #Partick #Rent #Housing #SocialHousing

Awright, Edinburgh troops? Living Rent have made a tool to object to Short Term Lets easier. The council have made it harder to object so this should take the angst out.

Homes not holiday lets

Stop new holiday lets destroying our communities

Email your MSPs tonight, to let them know you support STL regulation; because those bams in the STL industry will certainly be paying their lobbyists to talk to your MSP. And it's not a delay they are looking for, it's complete deregulation.
