A newly released renter’s manifesto has challenged
politicians to come up with solutions to fix the housing crisis. Produced by
campaign group Generation Rent, the Renters’ Manifesto proposes:
• Reform of the private rented sector - which it claims
fails millions of renters now "stuck” within it - with the right to a
five-year tenancy and professionalization of landlords and letting agents.
• A new housing market that allows buyers to opt-out of rising
house prices - which the group claims could end the housing crisis.
• A new government department with a remit to fix the
housing crisis and save the taxpayer billions.
• A national register of landlords to help government
improve standards and tackle rogue landlords.
• Licensing of letting agents to bring the profession
into line with estate agents.
• Reform decency standards and require landlords to prove
they meet them.
