Attended the above event a volume of people there with queries regarding the new Housing Benefit changes
this involves reductions in rent which could render some people homeless if they cannot afford to support extra rent for more information on this you need to go to CAB or Shelter or your local Welfare rights Unit.
I was attending with a member of Shelter as I am in the process of setting up a Private Tenants Group in the Tameside area and I was collecting contact information from interested parties bad landlords are abound in the Tameside area! but with all due respect I learnt from this event that some private tenants do have good landlords too!
This group hopes to address issues and queries that private tenants have to deal with through and with thier landlords such as Rent, Deposits and eviction issues to name a few.
The first meeting of the Steering group for the Tameside Private Tenants Group will be hopefully be in 2012 as some more publicity is required but anybody interested can contact me anytime on this blog!
