Living Rent Glasgow organized to protect the housing of asylum-seekers in Scotland, who have been the target of wide-spread unjust evictions with nowhere else to go. They have successfully resisted these evictions, and their power is growing!

Living Rent Glasgow had a major victory when they successfully resisted an unjust eviction for a family who needed wheelchair access. When the city council issued an eviction notice, the family feared moving into a hotel or the streets. Living Rent sprang into action, and in partnership with the ASH Project, put pressure on the city council until the family was allowed to stay. When we stand together, we win!
