The recent changes to the Right to Buy (RTB) scheme—with reduced discounts and tight deadlines—are putting many tenants at risk of losing out. MPs can raise these issues in the House of Commons on behalf of their constituents by asking questions, participating in debates, or introducing legislation. They can bring our concerns directly to Ministers during Question Time, which happens in the first hour of business each day.
🚨 While new homes are important, the current stock is in appalling condition. There needs to be more emphasis on social landlords performing essential maintenance, stricter deadlines for disrepair cases, and penalties for missed maintenance cycles. This is what the people voted for.
🚨 This reduction in RTB discounts wasn’t clearly outlined as part of any manifesto, leaving tenants with unresolved repair issues and limited time to prepare. Take action now—reaching out to your MP could make a big difference!
It’s disheartening to hear that people are scrambling to submit forms, despite knowing they may struggle with legal fees and future repairs.
