Labour has vowed to "put bad landlords out of
business" and bring in rent controls in England, if it wins power. Private
rents would not be allowed to go up by more than inflation - and landlords
would be fined for letting out sub-standard property. A Labour government would
also bring in "open-ended" tenancies, to protect tenants from unfair
evictions. The Tories have also set out plans to help tenants - including
scrapping "no fault" evictions. Under Labour's "private renters'
charter", landlords would face an annual "property MOT", with
fines of up to £100,000 or forced repayment of rent if their properties are
found to be sub-standard. Read more on the BBC website.
