Renters in Bristol are being urged to share their stories of dodgy landlords and rising rents outside City Hall.
Community union Acorn, which represents renters, is calling on tenants to give their views to a ‘Real Renting Commission’. In July, Acorn activists stormed a similar meeting at Bristol City Council, protesting against their exclusion from a council-run commission on housing.
The Real Renting Commission will be held on College Green outside City Hall on Wednesday, September 28, from 5.30pm to 7pm. Testimonies will be included in an Acorn report to be published at the same time as the council’s Living Rent Commission findings.
