I’m being evicted just now after receiving a rent increase of 80%. I’m hoping to god I can access some social housing in the near future because I’ll soon not be able to afford the lowest rents in Glasgow.
I’m so sorry that’s happening to you. I’m getting evicted too. It’s so painful. I joined my Renter’s Union in Melbourne, they helped represent me but I still lost but at least I wasn’t alone and they have been very kind. Is there a Tenant’s Union in Glasgow? 80% rent increase should be illegal!!
There is and I’ve joined! And yes, we appealed so they enforced a cap - but then he evicted us as retaliation, which is legal… sorry to hear about your eviction. Hope you’re in a better situation now.
Thanks Vincent, just put it on my list!
Really great review! I'm gonna look for this at the library :-)

If Zionists have taught us one thing it is that if you are strong enough to take land it becomes yours.
