What the petition asks

The city of Berlin among other European capitals have put forward laws that put a limit into rent prices. Making sure citizens are not charged excessive rent prices. Prioritising it’s citizens livelihoods and cost of living against excessive greedy profits.
The housing crisis in the U.K. especially in London have forced a whole generation into poor living conditions of housing. It has made house share a reality that has imposed itself on Londoners. The right to dignity and privacy does not exist with 7 in 10 Londoners living in shared accommodation. A new law to be passed on parliament to put a cap on rent prices in the city is feasible using the example of cities like Berlin and Barcelona.
