Refugees are particularly vulnerable to the Hane's landlord's discriminatory behaviour. We are all united in our struggle against greedy landlords 🌍✊

We were proud to be joined by @haringeywelcome.bsky.social, a local migrant advocacy group. When an asylum seeker is granted refugee status, they are swiftly evicted from their temporary hotel, and most will not have the right to work yet and so rely on benefits.
30.09.2025 19:50 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0More than 10 of us in front of Hane estate agents, looking angry! We are dressed in red and holding signs that say: 'Acorn demands homes for ALL', 'Haringey Welcome', 'Stop breaking the law', 'People on UC need homes'.
We went down, hoping to talk with someone from Hane. They took one look at us, closed up shop, and ran off.
It can feel like landlords have all the power in our broken housing market, but when we organise together, we show them who's boss.
See you again soon Hane! 😘⌛
HANE ESTATE AGENTS RUN OFF SCARED 🚩🐔
Our member requested a viewing for a property through Hane Estate Agents. She was told the landlord doesn't accept universal credit claimants. This is discrimination, and we won't stand for it.

ACORN vs Green Lanes Estate Agent - Stop Discriminating Against Benefits Claimants!
One of our members was turned away from renting a property from a local estate agent simply because she's on Universal Credit.
According to Crisis, 25% of trans people have experienced homelessness at some point in their lives. We constantly see the many types of discrimination faced by our members at the hands of landlords and those in power. Housing justice and trans rights are twin struggles we must fight for together✊🏳️⚧️🚩

But at the same time, £14billion of public money goes straight to the pockets of private landlords via housing benefit every year, due to sky high rents and a lack of social homes.

The government recently announced plans to make some of the biggest cuts to disability benefits on record.
These benefits keep people alive. It's predicted that these changes could see up to 1.2 million people losing support of between £4.2k and £6.3k/year over the coming years.

Hundred year waits. 1.3 million families on the wait list.
For every social house built, two are lost to the Right to Buy. Until the government reckons with this, this will continue.
End Right to Buy. Build council houses!
Huge success this weekend as we marched on Haringey's letting agents and demanded fairer renting. We had a brave estate agent promising they won't break the law, but we still want better! Expect more visits, more action, and more wins in the borough soon! 🚩💥📣
