Rejected petition Place a cap on rent prices
There needs to be a cap on rent prices in East Sussex and surrounding areas, if this was in place this would actually save the government millions of pounds because people would not need to claim housing benefit/universal credit etc if they would actually afford to live and rent!
More details
Please please please, people are stugglibg to afford and getting into debt which is probably up there in one the biggest issues for mental health. Families are struggling that work as much as physically possible without being missing from there children’s lives! This is a massive issue and needs to seriously be looked at!
