Debate

Renters’ Rights Bill

Contribution

Our cities have a pull for this generation of young adults, and in those cities we are leaving them to the mercy of landlords and letting agents. Some letting agents play a sinister role, often driving large-scale increases in rent for their own ends. We hear all the time about struggling landlords who run businesses, but how many properties do not have a mortgage next to their name? I would suggest it is a considerable amount, yet rents continue to rise again and again.
