Challenges

Over time the problems remain the same. Surprisingly similar on a global scale.

• Rapidly growing inequalities.
•  Financialisation.
•  Gentrifiction.
• Rising cost of living.
• Insecure legal environment.
• Housing is still not a fundamental human right.
• Economic challenges are no longer only related to the weakest, but also middle income house holds.
• This development was further speeded up by th Ukraine war.
• The importance of good building standard was exposed by the earth quake in Turkey and Syria.

IUT Claims och Decision Makers Globally

• Moratoria on evictions.
• Public funding for the energy-efficency renovations (to avoid energy poverty).
• Policies on rent stabilisations.
• Policies to avoid renovictions.
• Institutional tenants participation democracy (level playing field).

IUT Calls on Decision Makers Globally

• Ensure ”housing cost neutrality” (public, private and social housing).
• The concept of energy poverty should be better defined.
• Tenants unions should have a say in legislative processes (to ensure tenants democracy).

IUT

• An active organisation.
• A credible organisation.
• A thrustworthy partner.

Because tenants stand united!
