Not enough housing for so many people..

Why are the housing associations still allowed to operate? What is the social housing regulator doing letting them get away with appalling treatment of tennants? RSHEngland Many won't carry out repairs, fob off tenants. MetTVH still not repaired flood damage in Aldershot flat

Well done to this guy. A lot of these housing associations are doing all manner of wrong...

Well done that young man.👏👏👏

Lock the landlords up , they only in it for one thing €€€€€£££££££

Clarion_Group is too big, too incompetent and too complacent. Clarion_Group should be split up.

Well done, what a fight to take on. Hope others will finally see results too, we must not forget this and must keep shaming them if they stop fixing these homes.

Because they don't have the luxury of living with their parents 🙄 given a car. no gas/electric/water bills only 120 a month for mum and dad. lived with mum and dad. practically given a 14K a year job by mum and dad. yeah, get lost.
