This seems like the place to mention that Generation Rent - the only organisation that represents the UK's 11 million private renters - have had an unexpected funding cut after their main funder unexpectedly pulled the plug and are appealing for donations. They need to raise enough money by 31st August (Bank Holiday Monday) to keep them going until spring 2016 when they expect to secure longer term funding.
If you've ever had a shit time with a landlord, had your rent hiked massively, been revenge evicted, had to live in an unsafe/unpleasant property, or been ripped off by a letting agent (who hasn't?) you'll know how much this matters. In their first year and a half, they've already succeeded in pushing the government to protect renters from revenge evictions, take away landlord tax breaks and regulate letting agents, but there's lots more to do!
