“4.4 million households in the private rented sector are crying out for change. Everyone should have a secure home, in a decent and safe condition, that they can afford. Changing the law to help renters is long overdue – and that’s why I’m supporting the Renters Reform Coalition.”

"The Renters' Reform Bill must be prioritised - the fear of eviction caused by S21 can stop households from establishing roots in local communities and at a time when wellbeing and belonging is at an all-time low, we should be easing these anxieties. Our biggest issue now is stopping mass homelessness - prevention at a time of severe crisis is the only answer."

“Housing has been a common theme in Poverty Truth Commissions up and down the country, with Commissioners who have experience of poverty highlighting the poor standards they experience renting their homes from private landlords and the barriers to getting repairs and improvements. Our Commissioners who are social landlords and senior local authority leaders have pointed out the discrepancy between the scrutiny applied to council and social housing and that given to rented tenures. Joining the Renters Reform Coalition means we are part of a combined effort to enable everyone renting in the private sector to live somewhere that they can call home.”

“No one should be forced to choose between their home and their pet, but sadly, one of the main reasons that animals are relinquished to Dogs Trust is because of a change to the owner’s circumstances, such as when they are unable to find accommodation that will accept their dog. We want to make sure that the private rented sector better supports pet owners and enables them to find a secure and affordable home that meets their wants and needs.”

"At Impact on Urban Health, we know that a stable, secure, affordable home is essential to protecting and maintaining our physical and mental wellbeing. People in precarious, privately rented housing pay for it with their health, and the burden falls hardest on those who have the least. That’s why we support the work of the Renter’s Reform Coalition on reform for the private rental sector – because inequalities in housing contribute to inequalities in health."

"We are pleased to support the Renters Reform Coalition. Housing affordability matters for health, both directly and indirectly. Those on the lowest incomes often having to spend a greater proportion on their housing costs."

The Domestic Abuse Housing Alliance’s (DAHA) mission is to improve the housing sector’s response to domestic abuse. We support the coalition’s campaign to bring in the Renter’s Reform Bill because domestic abuse affects people in any tenure type. It is vital that survivors who live in the private rented sector have access to safe and secure housing as well as the support they need.

"More and more people are renting their homes, yet very few rented properties accept pets. This excludes many renters from the benefits of pet ownership and can result in cat owners being forced to make the heart breaking decision to give up their beloved pet. Cats Protection is working with landlords and tenants to ensure responsible owners are not denied the opportunity to own a pet simply because of their housing tenure."
