We’ve put a page on our website about the recent FTT decision that ruled £1.6M of insurance commissions paid to our landlord was not reasonable & not payable by 98 leaseholders joined to the application. The scandal of insurance commissions must end. canaryriverside.london/insurance-s27a

Our leaseholder friends at Canary Wharf have secured another major win against billionaire landlord John Christodoulou, who has been overcharging them to the tune of £1.6mn: ft.com/content/e13979…. Congratulations and solidarity!
A nice bit of news to end the year with: 6 LRU members have received payouts of between £6,000 and £9,000 from billionaire landlord John Christodoulou. When renters get organised, we can win.

No mention of housing. There is no long term vision for society without fixing the housing crisis. Housing is the foundation of a healthy life & whoever the next government is needs to make it a priority. That’s exactly what ACORN will keep fighting for. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…
One might think the Tories put through this policy (with burden falling on individual tenants) because they expected tenants wouldn’t be willing to fight back. But they were wrong. Solidarity with @OhHeyJacob and see @GroveRenters @LDNRentersUnion for more examples.
Amazing news this evening. Me and my old flatmates took our old landlord to court for breaching HMO licence rules, as well as other mitigating factors on safety. Well the tribunal decision just came back... A 95% rent repayment order! 95% back on an entire year of rent! 🎉
Rents in London are out of control. Landlords have the power to hike rents as high as they like, forcing renters into poverty and out of our homes. A #RentFreezeNow will take pressure off tenants and be a step towards a stronger housing system that meets everyone's needs.
This guy has taken a beating recently lol
Overcoming Goliath “London property tribunal determined that individual leaseholders in Canary Riverside owned by John Christodoulou’s Yianis Group should not have paid £1.5mn to a managing agent for insurance-related services or £121,000 in linked taxes.” @FT @iankmsmith
A nice bit of news to end the year with: 6 LRU members have received payouts of between £6,000 and £9,000 from billionaire landlord John Christodoulou. When renters get organised, we can win.

Come Michael Gove, here’s something for your new department to get their teeth into @michaelgove @luhc @CommonsLUHC @DehennaDavison @lucyfrazermp
Excl: a court ordered one of UK’s richest men to pay back £24,000 to 3 renters who were “vindictively” evicted. But billionaire John Christodoulou isn’t paying and he’s suspected to be moving his assets to avoid paying £500,000 to other tenants. @thetimes thetimes.co.uk/article/a42e0f…
“Shifting assets” to avoid paying what you should is quite simply utterly abhorrent &only serves to highlight how unbalanced things are It’s time for changes in all areas of living & being This is 2022 & a new dawn & new era approach in which antiquated old systems have no place

And in my own experience, I have never seen anyone abused for crossing a picket line, just urged not to. The abuse is usually the other way round. Either way, abuse should be off the menu. Social costs there might be, just as there are social costs --I would know--for dissenting.
So, yes, while I think there should be free and frank discussion within the union about the pros & cons of strike action at this very difficult time, I'm not impressed by some of the appropriation of the language of safety & wellbeing used to mount defenses of not taking action.
That labour history is not about postdocs or professors striking but precisely the world's most immiserated, precarious, exploited....women and women of colour. As if garment workers in Bangladesh can 'afford' to strike.
