The first political conference of 2017 kicked off in
Brighton on 27 September, with Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn announcing that if
they win the next General Election, they will introduce rent controls for the
private rented sector. Rent control has been promised by Labour as far back as
2015, with their Party Manifesto claiming, "For the 11 million people who
rent privately, we will legislate to make three-year tenancies the norm, with a
ceiling on excessive rent rises" and later in their 2017 manifesto
"Labour will make new three-year tenancies the norm, with an inflation cap
on rent rises.” Read more on the ARLA website.
