, the Labour chief pledged to introduce a new law protecting tenants from having to agree to extortionate prices just to secure a home.said: "You can stop the bidding wars because what happens there is the landlord effectively goes between two or three different renters driving the rent up and up and up."We will introduce a law that says you can't do it because at the moment what happens is they sort of go back between the renters.
The Tories have also been criticised for failing to get a grip of unscrupulous landlords ripping off tenants with extortionate rents and lurid living conditions.has vowed to abolish no-fault evictions and put an end to fixed-term tenancies, giving tenants freedom to leave a property when it’s convinent to them rather than the landlord.
Responding to Labour’s rent plans, Polly Neate, Chief Executive of Shelter, said: "It's good to see Labour commit to making renting fairer by tackling some of the issues that have plagued renters for years, including ridiculous requests for huge sums of rent up front. “To make renting genuinely safer, secure, and more affordable whoever gets the keys to No. 10 must bring forward an urgent bill in the King’s Speech that scraps no fault evictions in their entirety, limits in-tenancy rent increases, and extends notice periods.”
