Take the LRU Covid renting survey

Jan 21, 2021 | News

The government has created an evictions crisis.

Together we’re powerful and can keep each other safe. Our branches are working hard to support as many renters as possible stay in their homes during the pandemic.

To help us do this, we need to know as much as we can about what our members and other renters in London are going through right now.

If you do have a housing issue at the moment, we’ll get in touch to let you know about the different ways you can get support from other LRU members.
