Activists Present Five New Demands for Rental Sector Reform

Generation Rent, an activist group, has outlined five new demands for further reforms in the UK rental sector. The announcement comes as Andy Burnham is expected to assume the role of Prime Minister in the coming days.

According to a report by Landlord Today, Generation Rent described the recently introduced Renters Rights Act as “only a first step.” The group published a list of additional measures they wish to see implemented, which they have directed at the incoming government.

The specific details of the five demands were not disclosed in the excerpt. However, the report highlights that these calls for further reform are being made at a time of political transition, with Burnham set to take office soon.

Letting agents and inventory clerks should be aware that further changes to rental sector regulations may be advocated by activist groups in the near future. The situation remains subject to developments as the new government takes shape.
