Description
Twenty-first century Britain is facing a housing crisis, where millions of people are forced into the private rental sector. This sector is designed to create profit for landlords, not safe and stable homes for tenants. In "Tenants", Vicky Spratt explores the effects of this crisis on individuals and communities, revealing the urgent need for radical change.
The book shines a light on the lives of those struggling to find a good home, from those facing eviction to those living in mould-infested conditions. Spratt also highlights the steps needed to give everyone a chance of a good home, and the impact of this crisis on our mental and physical health, our communities, and our safety.
Through the stories of those on the frontline of the housing emergency, Spratt shows how the British dream of homeownership has withered and the safety net of social housing has been broken. This is a powerful and moving account of a crisis that requires urgent attention and action.
