How cold has your home been this winter?
Better Renting has launched the ‘Cold and Costly’ report on the experiences of renters through winter.
They found that temperatures were below 18°C 75% of the time in rental homes – that’s 18 hours a day. The WHO recommends 18°C as the minimum healthy temperature in winter, so this is a real concern – it means people getting sicker because their homes are substandard.
We must do better by renters. Everyone deserves a safe and healthy home.
