The political parties are all agreed - we need to build more houses. But for the average renter who works two days a week just to pay their landlord, more houses won't have an effect until years down the line. It's time we had rent control.

To put rent control on the agenda of the next government, we need to ensure that all candidates are being asked to support it. Please use the text below to make your local parliamentary candidates aware of the need for rent control and ask them to back it. This will put pressure on the next MP to make rent control an issue where you live.
