    Eviction resistances happen all over the world. Join your local tenants union.

    In the UK, ACORN covers most places, but there are also area-specific unions such as London Renters Union and Greater Manchester Tenants Union. There is also the Advice Service for Squatters who can help support squats.

      Proper checks and balances to enforce said laws?
