Hundreds of thousands of UK renters in communal heating buildings face a hidden crisis. Unlike most, they have no control over skyrocketing heating bills bundled into their rent, leaving them with:

Unfair Charges: No say in costs or usage, leading to potential over-billing.
Debt Threats: Recent energy price hikes push many into debt.
Eviction Fears: Landlords use unpaid service charges (not rent!) to threaten eviction.

Case Study: Lambeth

The situation for Lambeth Council residents, exemplifies this nationwide problem. Tenants face spiralling costs, limited support, and eviction threats due to rising service charges in their communal heating buildings.

The Impact:

This unfair system hits the most vulnerable:

Low-income families: Forced to choose between heating and essentials.
Single parents: Struggling with unexpected cost increases.
Disabled individuals: Pressured to use disability benefits for heating.
The Elderly: Vulnerable to cold homes and health risks.

Demand Change!

Sign this petition to urge the government and local authorities to:

Separate Heating Bills: Create a fairer system based on individual usage.
Stop Evictions: Protect tenants from eviction due to service charge arrears.
Extend Support: Make these rising costs eligible for housing benefit.
