What the petition asks
Introduce legislation that will ensure rental properties throughout the UK are at reasonable level in-line with average wages earned by those that are renting, and proper oversight and regulation of private landlords.
Currently the cost of living, including private rents, is sky rocketing at an incredibly unsustainable rate. Some landlords demand full rent upfront, on-top of a deposit. There is currently no regulatory body that controls rental prices or can stop landlords from making unreasonable demands. Renters need better protection.
