Generation Rent - a force for good

Have you heard of Generation Rent www.generationrent.org - a campaigning group who want "professionally managed, secure, decent and affordable private rented homes"? They come at it from the tenants' point of view. But as any sensible landlord will tell you, good tenants are what makes it all work.

Last week I met Betsy Dilner, Director, and Seb Klier, Policy and Campaigns Manager. They are both sensible, committed people, and many Property Hawk users would nod along with their views about letting agents and double charging.

Have a look at their policies web page and you'll see what sense they are talking - the headings are Affordability, Professional Management, Security of Tenure and Decent Living Conditions.

Maybe you will support what they're doing, or feel that it's healthy to have these points raised by someone on the tenants' side. If so, you could join me in giving them some money.
