Racism is rife within the housing sector. With a third of tenants facing poverty, many of these tenants are unaware of their rights and responsibilities. So when they do complain to their landlords about their housing conditions, bad landlords can threaten them with eviction. So tenants put up with awful housing conditions.
And for people who may not have English as a first language, the problems can massively escalate. Look at what happened to poor Awaab Ishak, the toddler who passed away in unfit housing. Read more here.
As letting agents, many landlords think we are too left-leaning; we advocate for tenants’ rights. This should come as no threat to good landlords. Good landlords are proud of the homes they provide. And tell you the truth, if our work makes you uncomfortable, then we probably should not work together.
We want to represent better landlords; we want housing to improve for all. We believe that landlords can make a living doing things the right way. We work heavily with people from minority communities, and we are proud of the work we do. Just check out our Google reviews, which are mostly completed by our tenants, which is unheard of within the property sector.
So if you are hungry for change and want to set yourself apart from the rest, then give us a call.
