Justice for The Fold!

Justice for The Fold!

Residents of 'The Fold' have been dealing with severe housing issues at the hands of their corporate landlord Legal & General 

The residents have reported a catalogue of issues that fall well below the legal obligations 

  • Dangerous living conditions including black mold, damp and  flooding, collapsed ceilings, and sewage leaks

  • Repeated maintenance failures including water outages, broken doors, faulty lift systems.

  • Serious fire safety failures including faulty alarms, unclear evacuation procedures, and unsafe ‘stay put’ policies putting residents at unacceptable risk.

  • Breaches of privacy and right to quiet enjoyment caused by frequent and unannounced visits from management and surveyors

  • Failure to protect tenant deposits in line with current legislation


Therefore ACORN members are demanding: 


  • Full rent compensation for tenants dating back to when the issues first began

  • Rent waived for existing tenants for the duration of their tenancies

  • Support finding alternative housing including covering moving costs

  • Improved and regular communication with tenants

  • Repeated maintenance failures including water outages, broken doors, faulty lift systems.

  • Serious fire safety failures including faulty alarms, unclear evacuation procedures, and unsafe ‘stay put’ policies putting residents at unacceptable risk.

We call apon Legal & General to come to an appropriate resolution for their tenants and for their demands to be met.
