Amnesty

The New Year
offered anyone illegally
subletting their Poplar
HARCA tenancy time
to hand back the keys,
no questions asked.

Now the amnesty is over, we’ll be
asking the Courts for the maximum
punishment for anyone
exploiting the housing crisis for personal gain. That could mean 2 years in prison,
a £50,000 fine and paying back profits. Tell us if you suspect a neighbour is subletting
and earn £500 if we get the property back. And help a family waiting for a home to get
re-housed from the waiting list.
