Green Party Leader to Deliver Keynote at Rent Controls Policy Launch

Green Party leader Zack Polanski is set to deliver a keynote speech on rent controls at the launch of a new policy paper in London. The event, taking place at the UCL Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose, will mark the publication of "Taking Back Control of Rents: The Impact of Rent Regulation on Affordability, Public Spending and Landlord Profits."

The report is jointly published by the UCL Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose and the New Economics Foundation. Alongside Polanski, speakers at the launch will include Josh Ryan-Collins, report co-author Beth Stratford, and Pete Ely.

The event comes as debate continues over intervention in the private rented sector. The policy paper is expected to address the impact of rent regulation on affordability, public spending, and landlord profits.

This development is of particular relevance to UK letting agents and inventory clerks, as any changes to rent control policy could affect the private rented sector and property management practices.
