Many of these developments have failed to live up to the promise of creating new communities, rather they are ghost villages, unaffordable and unsuitable for most residents of the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Collective Action also joined <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acorntheunion.org.uk\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.acorntheunion.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ACORN Community Union<\/a> in a solidarity action in Hanover, Brighton, in support of an 80 year old resident facing a no fault eviction. We support all actions to prevent evictions, which in many cases are excuses to raise rents with new tenancies, or convert housing to holiday lets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"724\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/collectiveactionbh.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/highrentsleaflet-724x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"High Rents Are Killing Brighton &amp; Hove leaflet.
