'Eye-opening, practical, thoughtful and revolutionary' Danny Dorling, author of Peak Injustice

'A birds-eye view of tenant organising that touches down in moving stories of everyday struggle' Tracy Rosenthal, co-author of Abolish Rent

'A brilliant and inspiring analysis of the causes and possible solutions to one of the central issues facing people around the world today: the problem of housing' Jeremy Gilbert, author of Twenty-First Century Socialism

As housing crises proliferate around the world, so does the fightback. A new generation of tenant unions are rising up to demand good, affordable housing for all. From the streets of Los Angeles to the avenues of Berlin, these unions are rewriting the playbook on community empowerment and direct action.

In Renters Unite! longtime organiser Jacob Stringer navigates the joys and perils of a new and exciting form of political organising. Through vivid storytelling and analysis, this book takes readers to the frontlines to expose the brutality of criminal landlords and exploitative housing.

It's time to join the movement for housing justice!

JACOB STRINGER is a housing and social movements researcher, and a member of London Renters Union. His work has appeared in openDemocracy.
