Support for rent controls is gaining momentum in the UK
as continuously climbing property prices are making housing unaffordable for
middle class and young families. The majority of people want the government to
impose legal limits on rents for privately rented housing. Nearly 59 % of
people showed their support for rent controls in a survey conducted by
Survation recently. Only 6.8% of respondents were opposed. The remaining 34%
didn’t have an opinion on the issue. In London, the ratio of people in favour
of legal rent controls was even higher. Nearly 64.5% of those polled said that
they “somewhat” or “strongly” supported mandatory rent controls. Read more on
