In 2017 we took our first coordinated national action alongside our Scottish sister organisation Living Rent in protest at a hidden clause in Santander’s buy-to-let mortgage terms that required landlords to raise rents to the maximum level every year.
Faced with renters mobilising to target their branches in 8 cities across the UK Santander backed down and agreed to drop the clause. Our first national victory and the first one for renters in a long time!
