Call for Double-Locking Rents to Prevent Unfair Increases

A proposal has been made to double-lock rents in order to prevent unfair rent rises. According to Landlord Today, the IPPR believes this idea addresses previous criticisms of rent controls.

The report highlights ongoing discussions about rent regulation in the UK property sector. Letting agents and inventory clerks may wish to monitor developments in this area, as changes to rent control policies could impact tenancy management and rental agreements.
