Ban unfair ground rent clauses from leasehold agreements

Doubling ground rents significantly reduce the property's market value. They can make the property unsellable because mortgage lenders are reluctant to approve mortgages and buyers are put off because the scheduled increases can become prohibitive. For current owners, making the increasing annual payments is challenging, leaving them at risk of default and losing their property because they broke the terms of the lease. This will become more of a problem in the current cost of living crisis.
