Closed Establish a national regulator for private landlords to ensure fair rent

Closed on

The Government should create a national regulator with the power to enforce rules and regulate the amount of rent that is allowed to be charged. This could help ensure fair rent depending on the living wage and adequate living conditions for all renters.

The amount of money private landlords are asking for their properties makes it near impossible for many working people to rent. For example, in London many people earning £30,000 are forced to move out due to the cost of renting, making it harder to work there.
