🚨 5 key changes for tenants from 1st May 2026 🏠 The new Renters' Rights Act means: 1. Landlords can no longer evict tenants through no-fault evictions - they need a valid reason. No more bidding wars - landlords can’t ask for more than the advertised rent price. Landlords can only ask for a maximum of one month’s rent upfront. Landlords can’t just say no to pets - they must consider requests reasonably. No more fixed-term tenancy contracts. Rolling contracts will give more flexibility.

One year into cell phone bans, Dallas schools see 24% increase in library book checkouts. 👏👏👏 "Public school districts in Texas are almost one school year into the first statewide cellphone ban, and a North Texas school district is seeing positive impacts. Dallas ISD officials said that, district-wide, they have seen a significant increase in library book checkouts, which they largely attribute to students no longer having cellphones with them during the school day. "I started hearing, 'Oh, I'm so bored. I can't get on my phone after I do my work or during lunchtime,'" Hillcrest High School librarian Nina Canales said. "Once they lock into these stories, they don't seem to care about their phones at all." From the first day of school to March 31, 2026, the district reported an increase of more than 200,000 additional books checked out compared to the previous year. A look at the library checkouts for the previous year: 2025-2026 Total Circulation (1st day of school to March 31, 2026) – 1,084,837 2024-2025 Total circulation (1st day of school to March 31, 2025) – 872,430 Total library book checkout increase: 24.35% At Dallas ISD's Hillcrest High, students are following this trend. Canales said there were roughly 500 books checked out in the first nine weeks of the 2024-2025 school year. This school year, that number spiked to about 1,800 books. "That floored me," Canales said. "I had to re-do the report again because I was like, 'What, are you kidding me?'" Students felt the impact too. "Now that I'm busy with a bunch of work and college, I don't find myself missing my phone that much, even at home," said Yamilet Jimenez, 9th grader." By @laceybeasnews. @JonHaidt @safe_screens

This is footage of an e-bike exploding at a home in Catford. It's just one of 556 e-bike fires in the last three years in London. The infernos are toxic, spread within seconds and are almost impossible to put out. And they've killed half a dozen Londoners since 2023.
