In this episode of the Housing Sector Podcast, I sit down with Suz from SHAC (Social Housing Action Campaign) to discuss the ongoing service charge crisis. Residents across the country are facing ever-increasing service charges, often while enduring poor repairs and significant delays in maintenance. These mounting issues could push many residents to consider a service charge strike, a move that carries serious consequences. From the potential criminalisation of residents to housing associations pursuing legal action and even eviction, the stakes are high.
Suz and I dive deep into the challenges faced by tenants and shared owners, offering guidance and insights for those affected by these rising costs. We explore what residents can do, how to navigate this difficult situation, and why the housing sector needs urgent reform to protect vulnerable tenants.
Don't miss this important conversation about the future of service charges and what it means for residents and housing associations alike.
Advice and support are available for those impacted by service charge issues. Please seek legal advice if needed.
