Policy & Campaigns

Leeds Tenants Federation is campaigning and leading projects on a series of issues of major concern to tenants and residents.

Take Community Control
Leeds Tenants Federation is leading a series of promotional conferences and discussion to ensure residents are aware of the possibilities of tenant management and tenant control

Fair Rents and Decent Homes
Social housing is getting unaffordable with rents out of reach of ordinary working people. We are campaigning for fairer rents.

Right to Rent campaign
We are running The Right to Rent campaign to lobby for more social rented housing.

Access to housing
We are lobbying for improvements in the operation of lettings policies and promoting tenant involvement in lettings through our meet'n'greet initiative.

Anti-social behaviour
We are calling for more preventative measures to tackle anti-social behaviour and more support to help residents to take a stand.

Equality and diversity
We are leading an Adult and Child Safeguarding programme with the aim of establishing a city-wide network of accredited champions. We are working with young tenants to campaign their housing rights and we are actively helping gypsies and travellers to establish a voice for themselves. We have set ourselves stretching targets for the inclusion of Black and Minority Ethnic residents and younger people.
