Shadow housing minister Emma Reynolds has accused the
Government of complacency in the face of rising rents that are making it
increasingly difficult for people to cling on to a home in some parts of the
country. The Labour MP said: “Rents are
rising because of this government’s failure to get more homes built. Under this government, less than half the
number of homes needed to keep up with demand are being built. Their failure is
pushing more people into the private rented sector, pushing up rents and
pushing dreams of home ownership out of reach for young people and
families. Rising rents are pushing more
and more people onto housing benefit and are a major cause of the cost of
living crisis that families are facing up and down the country.” Read more on
