Tell Horizon Properties to take responsibility for their HMOs!

Our member Ieva is trapped in a huge, empty student house and stuck paying ALL the fixed-rate bills – despite Horizon Properties, her landlord, admitting that she shouldn't be paying. Horizon think they can dump their bills onto their tenants and bully them into silence. The landlords are refusing to help Ieva, and instead have made repeated legal threats against Ieva and ACORN. We stand with Ieva – and we won't be intimidated!

We are asking Horizon Properties to finally meet with ACORN and sort this out – call them today to let them know that this is what they need to do.

You have already agreed via your solicitor that it is unfair for Ieva to be paying bills for the entirety of the large HMO she lives in, and should only be covering her fair share. We need to know immediately how you will sort this out with Ieva.

Ieva is unable to afford to keep paying unfair bills and does not feel safe in the property. She needs to be allowed to leave as soon as possible. You need to act now!
