The Lease We Can Do
by Chris Ryan, Hugh Reynolds and Michelle Saffin
A show about how the housing system works, and what to do when it doesn’t. We talk about the issues affecting renters, from leaking taps to evictions to the structural forces of the market, helping people understand their rights and how to exercise them - especially young people moving out for the first time. And by looking at the problems holistically, we can build solidarity and empower ordinary people to create collective solutions which change the world for the better.
