Benefiet Huurdersvereniging
Benefiet voku voor de Huurdersvereniging Oost op donderdag 26 januari 2012 vanaf 19u. Infoavond zondag 29 januari 2012 vanaf 20u.
Er staat een prijs op uw hoofd!
Afgelopen 1 oktober zijn de huurprijsregels veranderd door minister Donner. Hierdoor kunnen verhuurders grof geld verdienen als ze huurders die nu minder dan 650 euro betalen weten weg te pesten. Dit bevestigde ook Thijs Reuten, de portefeuillehouder wonen van Oost in het Parool van afgelopen 26 november “Alarm over huurmarkt”. Uit onderzoek van het stadsdeel bleek dat 10.000 van de goedkoopste woningen in Oost zouden verdwijnen. De kans op een betaalbare particuliere huurwoning zou “praktisch nihil” worden.
Wilt u voorkomen dat u hier de dupe van wordt? Kom dan naar onze informatie-bijeenkomst:
op zondag 29 januari om 20:00

“Housing is a basic need for a dignified existence and is a human right. Providing for this need is not an individual, but a societal and thus collective responsibility, especially given that:
- in a just society the costs should be distributed on the basis of ability to pay, and the benefits based on need;
- such a society can only be brought about through a collective effort by all those involved;
- such an effort can only succeed if all those involved take full responsibility for this common goal, and for each other.” [Read More]
