We get sick, they get richer

Too many renters are paying sky-high rents while living in homes that are in unacceptable, dangerous states of disrepair. What are landlords doing with our money?!

Landlords and estate agents are refusing to invest their profits in meeting their minimum legal obligations for safe homes. They get richer while the rest of us suffer.
