  1. #Noise and #Motion #Monitors in Their Homes? These #Tenants Say No.

    Tenants in public housing in Concord, N.H., were troubled to learn the wide array of data that new monitors in their homes collected, including decibel levels, #Bluetooth signals and motion.

  2. Concerning the legalisation of #pluginsolar in the UK, there is one question open (for us) and maybe there is a #lawyer here who can answer it:

    The UK "legalized" #pluginpv but didn't change any law concerning the right of #tenants to use it. The guidance simply says "ask your #landlord”.

    Is the use of pluginsolar now subject to the whims of the landlord or does UK law give the tenant a right to install it, as its a generally legal and regulated technical device?

  3. @PKYo
    That reminds me, I should be writing to various MPs about cottages like those sold off by the #Bridgewater #Canal #Company at #PrestonBrook.

    The terrace, built in the late 1700s, was sold off one house at a time in the 1950s. They all had brick built privies clustered together in a #communal #yard. Because the remaining #tenants all needed access to the yard the canal company retained ownership and provided an annual licence to each purchaser permitting access to the communal area.

    There's no #lease. No #contract on #fees to be charged. The canal company can, it seems, charge what they like both to issue a #licence to a new #buyer of a #cottage and any #annual renewal #fee.

    We ought to be able to add some appropriate clauses onto any upcoming #legislation that gives owners of #leasehold #property the #righttobuy such communal ground.

    The attached map from 1894 shows the terrace, their privies and how some don't even have space to hang out washing to dry. @ukwaterways

  4. Following mixed feedback and extended discussions, City Council voted to prohibit the use of Ratio Utility Billing Systems (RUBS), in which tenants in a multi-unit complex can be billed flat rates for utilities rather than by exact usage. Ken Der has the details. alamedapost.com/news/council-b

    🗓️ 17 juni 12:30
    📍 Paleis van Justitie, Prins Clauslaan 60

    De SoZa Huurdersbond vecht terug, samen met BPW! Pandbeheerders VORM en OAK Management willen de huurders onrechtmatig uitzetten, zonder enige vorm van een alternatieve woning te bieden.

    17 juni is er een rechtszaak waarin de huurders hun rechten moeten verdedigen. Sta solidair met de huurders en kom naar de solidariteitsmanifestatie.

    De woningcrisis gaan we niet oplossen door mensen dakloos te maken. Huizen voor mensen, niet voor winst.

    🏠 Show your support for the tenants at SoZa!

    🗓️ June 17, 12:30 PM
    📍 Palace of Justice, Prins Clauslaan 60

    The SoZa Tenants’ Union is fighting back, together with BPW! Property managers VORM and OAK Management want to evict the tenants unlawfully, without offering any form of alternative housing.

    On June 17, there will be a court hearing where the tenants must defend their rights. Show solidarity with the tenants and come to the solidarity rally.

    We won’t solve the housing crisis by making people homeless. Homes for people, not for profit.

  7. "Unions and renters’ groups have criticised #ReformUK after the party’s business spokesperson, Richard Tice, pledged to introduce a “great repeal act” that would abolish Labour legislation on #workers’ rights and protection for #tenants."

  8. #GreenParty spokesperson said the property’s inhabitants still back their party. “The landlord put it up, yet the tenants have Green posters in the window. It’s a sign of the state of politics now – Labour prioritises #landlords & Greens prioritise #tenants www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/excl-l...

  9. Here is a weird post about #FreeWebHosting #culture that bridges 20+years.

    iF I told you 'Hey, you should really look out for those #Tripod & #AngelFire web hosting users due to their #GangStalking #IDS, /s' from 20+yrs ago but just replaced the web hosting providers with #Instagram & #Facebook, what would you of thought about those #FreeWebHosting users today who are complacent with their #FreeWebHosting #culture of #GangStalking being #investigated
    🤔

    🔮 : 🔎 Certain #ClosedWeb vs. #OpenWeb things would stand out due to Public Scrutiny. Why, aren't you using the #PeriodTrackingApp called #FacebookMessenger currently being used for tracking #Abortion related #crimes? Amazing things started to happen when the #ClosedWeb #SocialMedia place got #OpenWeb'D. Init? 👀👀 🔍

    #PrivateFacebookForums made #Public and the list of names involved in #GangStalking is quite effective and prosecutors love using 18 U.S.C. Sec 241 to hand out 5, 10, 15 to Life Sentences for this #GangStalking behavior btw.

    For one example of this #GangStalking behavior coupled with illegal #Surveillence by the #Landlord found by the residents of a whole neighborhood, btw:

    .... What iF your #Landlord was disclosing when their #Tenants were leaving _their_ residence for coordination of #BreakIns using #SocialMedia to harass the #renter? That would be pretty stupid based on how #ediscovery at #Meta works.

    🔎 WOT iF the #Police just looked the other way because this was under $10k of theft? WOT iF #BodyCam footage was correlated with #PoliceReports to uncover this? 💯🔍

    #FacebookMessenger is not #private

    #FunFact : #MarkZuckerburg lied to you about #privacy

    He told you earlier in his career '#DumbFscks shouldn't trust #Meta.'

    #MARCOM lied to you about #Privacy & #Advertising networks you call #SocialMedia. Duh.

    Not everyone has a #Meta account

    Not everyone has a #Facebook

    Not everyone has an #Instagram

    Not many people even know what a ' #Metaverse ' even IS let alone visit it outside of #Meta per the huge losses at the #VR #AR #MR division of #RealityLabs there in Menlo Park, CA.

    #Prosecutors are already using this #OneWeirdMARCOM trick, 'saying everyone is on something ' when in fact, No, very few people ACTUALLY use this. Did you miss the #RICO documentary about #MarkZuckerburg in 2010 or something? 🤔

    Now they are just weaponizing certain states laws on #abortion to go after your #Mothers and #Daughters for #abortions in #ListOfStates, btw. Read up on which states those #FreeWebHosting companies that are JUST #Advertising companies with #WebHosting btw, 💯, where YOU ARE THE PRODUCT being SOLD, data wise, since you don't pay them, obvs., except now in places in the EU, where they are looking at #OptingOutOfAdvertising & offering a #PaidWebHosting model, duh, due to #Regulations on certain things #ForcedConsent & otherwise, being completely illegal. #GDPR
