Rents are rising all across the country, enabled by the Government's new rent rules.

As tenants we need to come together to make our voices heard. Landlords have deep pockets, but we have the numbers.

One month since Caitríona, Lisa and Cillian were violently evicted from their home on Clovelly Street. One month of this home lying empty.

Whilst attention from press and cameras has died down, Caitríona’s family remains homeless with no resolution in sight. They have nowhere to live and have been left unsupported and unhoused by the NIHE for 4 painful weeks.

So many families across Belfast and across the rest of the state have been left to the same fate at the hands of private landlords, housing associations and NIHE.

NIHE evicted this family because they said they needed the housing stock. This is the same body that has built only 6 social homes in the past 20 years. With 50,000 families on the waiting list, this is unacceptable.

CATU will continue to fight for housing justice for Caitríona and to support the call for the 500 homes to be built on the Mackies site.

CATU is unwavering:

1. We want Catríona’s family to be offered safe, secure, permanent social housing.

2. We want an end to police use and involvement in all evictions.

3. We want an immediate eviction ban across the social housing sector and a no-fault eviction ban on the private rental sector.

Strength, joy, determination 🌟 Pics from amazing community anti-eviction day last week in Killarney, where dozens of families are facing eviction by vulture fund LRC

Evictions are at their highest level since the famine. This isn't an accident, it's the result of Government policy. And it's an attack on all of us and our right to dignity and a decent life.

Our members are not cash cows for some investors bottom line; they are children, parents, workers, neighbours, friends. They are more part of the community than a faceless vulture fund will ever be, yet vultures can take away our housing with the stroke of a pen.

We demand the eviction notices are revoked, and that the Government acts NOW to stop the evictions of over a dozen families in Killarney and many thousands more across the island.

Join CATU- we'll keep fighting and we want you with us ✊🏼

📢DCC drop the rent hikes! Our Dublin branches out again tonight on the campaign against rent hikes which have seen public housing, HAP and AHB rates increase.

Our protest came just a few days after the department of housing took away funding for long awaited regeneration of Oliver Bonds flats in the heart of the Dublin city. These same tenants are being asked to pay more rent, for worse conditions.

Our campaign has gained huge momentum across the city. Recently in Fingal County Council, councillors voted against rent hikes saying they couldn't in good conscience hike rents in the height of a cost of living crisis. This decision from a neighbouring council was almost certainly down to the pressure that organised tenants are putting on DCC.

👉Let's keep this energy going. If you're a DCC tenant join our Dublin branches on Sunday, 2.30pm in the F2 Centre, Rialto for an organising meeting to fight the hikes

🌟Join CATU, your tenants union and stand together ✊🏼
