CATU Cork CATU Cork - grassroots tenants union winning real victories against landlords & Vulture funds profiting from housing crisis. Where communities have power.

We stop evictions, force repairs, organize communities. Your landlord is organized - time you got organized too. CATU Cork - Community Action Tenants Union
Fighting for Housing Justice in Cork. We're the Cork branch of Ireland's grassroots tenants union, and we're winning real victories for ordinary people against landlords, banks, and politicians who profit from the housing crisis. What We Do:
Di

rect Action That Works - We stop evictions, force repairs, challenge illegal rent increases, and hold slumlords accountable through collective power. Community Organizing - We bring neighbors together to fight for better housing conditions, defend public spaces, and resist the forces pricing working people out of Cork. Grassroots Democracy - Every campaign, every action, every decision is made by our members - because real change comes from the bottom up, not the top down. We Stand With:
Single parents facing unjust evictions, students priced out of accommodation, council tenants demanding vital repairs, private renters battling mould and endless rent hikes, families who refuse to accept this crisis as "normal", and anyone in precarious or emergency housing. Our Vision:
A Cork where housing is a human right, not a commodity. Where ordinary people - tenants, workers, families - control their own destinies. The housing crisis isn't an accident - it's a system. And systems can be changed when we organize together. Ready to fight back? Join CATU Cork. Because your landlord is organized, your TD protects their interests - it's time you got organized too. Building tenant power across Cork, one victory at a time.

Blarney Community Day this Saturday!

CATU Cork is coming to Blarney. If you live in Blarney, you might have seen it already Tenant power doesn't build itself. It gets built the old-fashioned way: people meeting people, getting to know each other, and deciding together that things need to change.

Come along for an afternoon of crafts, live music, and a Know Your Housing Rights workshop. Find out what protections you have as a tenant and meet the people around you who are in the same boat.

Free to attend. All welcome.

Saturday | 12:00 - 3:00pm | Blarney Community Hall, T23 R6DGF

Rents in Ireland have been rising at a brutal pace. In Cork, it's been even worse.
Cork is consistently among the most expensive rental markets in the country. The pace of increases here has outstripped wages, pushed families out of the city, and left tenants with less and less power to push back. That's not accidental. It's the result of policy choices that have consistently favoured landlords over renters.
From March 1st, the rules around Rent Pressure Zones are changing again. You deserve to know exactly what those changes mean for your tenancy and where the union stands.
CATU is hosting an online information session to break it all down: what's being changed, who it affects, and what we can do collectively about it.
Rent Pressure Zones: What's Changing and What It Means
Tuesday, February 24th at 19:00 — Online
Open to members and non-members. If you know a renter who needs to hear this, send them the link (link is in bio).
