We will be doing a tour of some of the local letting agents and calling for…

Ø An end to fees for tenants as in Scotland
Ø Proper regulation of letting agents
Ø No discrimination of people on housing benefit

The action will be MONOPOLY themed, and we’ll have props and banner to give out on the day but please bring anything else you have including:

· Banners/ ‘adapted’ letting agent placards
· Monopoly props like top hats and monopoly money
· Anything to make noise with!

Share you Let Down story?
Do you have a bad letting agent experience you want to share? If so, please post it in the comments on the Let Down blog or bring it with you on the day – we’ll be gathering written testimonials and displaying them at the action.

This action is being organised by local people from North/East London including the private tenant groups Digs (Hackney), Tower Hamlets Renters and Islington Private Tenants. It is part of the ‘Let Down’ campaign being led by London Renters.
