The Renters Reform Coalition – a group of pro-tenant bodies including student unions and Generation Rent – has given a hint of the “next phase” of campaigning after the Renters Rights Bill becomes law.

The Bill is likely to win Royal Assent before summer and will be implemented in stages over the following months

But the Renters Reform Coalition – which also includes direction action group Acorn and campaigning charity Shelter – is already advertising for a policy officer to move on to new campaigns.

Social media posts advertising the £38,000 a year job, which has a 35 hour week, say the next phase of campaigning after the Bill passes may be “the cost of renting.”

Recent statements from the coalition suggests rent caps may be the next demand of activists. 

The policy post advertisement wants “a committed and persuasive individual to help us influence change and give renters a voice” who has “experience in influencing policies and laws, as well as the ability to undertake research and analysis to support the development of policy and advocacy.”

Above all, it goes on to say, the successful candidate must be passionate about improving the lives of renters and wanting “progressive change.”
