Most students have a rental horror story. From personal experience, primary research with other students, and secondary sources, the problem is widespread. Wake Up Landlords is a bold activist campaign with immersive bus stops that decay over time to encourage communities to complain.
Immersive bus stop posters deteriorate over time to reveal the horrors faced by thousands of students. Biodegradable paper decays to expose the layer underneath: mould, dangerous electrics, or rats.
The website shows easy-to-understand information about your rights, and a template complaint letter… with a twist. The digital letter grows mouldy with the time that it is left unopened, creating a shock effect for landlords and councils.
We must speak up and complain for change. Students deserve a better standard of living!
