About the role
Renters in LRU are building the power we need to transform the housing system. From stopping evictions to taking on some of the biggest landlords in the city, our union is rooted in the power that we have when we get organised and fight back. Together we’ve helped push the government to ban Section 21 evictions alongside our allies, won policy change from local councils and helped to push the need for rent controls up the political agenda. At present our priorities are campaigning for a strong Renters Rights Bill and for rent controls so that everyone has an affordable, secure home. We’re looking for a campaigns officer to support members to develop and implement strategic campaigns that can bring us closer to a housing system based on the principle of homes for people not profit.
