Again, we call on the Government to introduce an emergency ban on rent increases and no-fault evictions; cut private rents by putting a full month's rent back into every private renter's pocket; oppose rent increases for council tenants, those in receipt of HAP and rental accommodation scheme, RAS, payments, and cost rental tenants; introduce a radical reset of housing policy, as set out by the Housing Commission; and increase and accelerate the delivery of social, affordable and private for-purchase homes. The Government has undertaken comprehensive reviews of the private rental market and of the rent pressure zones rent control system throughout 2024 and 2025, which assessed the rental market generally, as well as the operation of RPZs since their introduction, their impact on the market and relevant stakeholders and the retention of landlords and attracting new investment.
