Labour Candidate Promises Rental Sector Clampdown in Manchester

Labour’s candidate in the Greater Manchester Mayoral by-election, Bev Craig, is promising a clampdown on many elements of the private rental sector. The measures include proposals for rent controls and action on Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs).

The by-election follows Andy Burnham’s move to become an MP and Prime Minister. Letting agents and inventory clerks in Greater Manchester may wish to monitor developments, as any changes could impact local rental market practices.
