I've put down this #RentControl amendment because spiralling private rents too often push people into poverty & homelessness

We need this to be debated & acted on in Parliament - so please ask your MP to sign up to co-propose my New Clause 7 to amend the #RentersRightsBill

@acornunion.bsky.social
Screenshot of amendment, which says: To move the following Clause— “Rules for proposed rent levels (1) The Secretary of State must establish a body to be known as the Independent Living Rent Body. (2) The “proposed rent” referred to in section 55(2) must be calculated with reference to rules set by the Independent Living Rent Body. (3) In setting rules to be applied to the calculation of a proposed rent under section 55(2) the Independent Living Rent Body will have regard to property type, size and condition, location, local incomes, and such other criteria as it sees fit.” Member's explanatory statement: This new clause would require the Secretary of State to establish an independent body that would set rules to be used when calculating the proposed rent payable in relation to an advertised tenancy. The amendment currently has 4 MPs' names against it: Carla Denyer, Ellie Chowns, Siân Berry, Adrian Ramsay
