I recently met with Alicia Kennedy, the Director of Generation Rent, an organisation that campaigns to make sure that the voices of private renters are heard by landlords, by policymakers, and by politicians.

I am really looking forward to a new awareness campaign, Renters Rights Awareness Week, which will run from the 14th – 19th June. Generation Rent will be using this campaign to raise awareness of renter’s rights to ensure people have as much information as possible, and can recognise when things are wrong. 

I will be working with Generation rent with the aim of improving rights for private renters – a huge issue both in Leicester and across country.
