The greens are extremely anti-Landlord, much more so than Labour. The new Green Deputy major of Hackney in a televised speech last week said rent should be capped at £600 pcm for all properties. Could they legally enforce a maximum rent amount?
The new Deputy major of Hackney (Dylan Law ) in a televised speech last week called for a maximum cap on rents across all residential properties to be a maximum of £600 PCM. I’d imagine this would be a VERY popular policy amongst the 10.9 million renter households in the U.K. and could be enough to win the greens many MP’s in areas where there are large numbers of renters at the next general election in 2029 eg London. The greens voted to abolish Landlordism at their party conference by taxing Landlords out of existence. Are London landlords taking these threats by the greens seriously? What are you doing in the face of these threats? Could a political party in power legally enforce a maximum cap on residential rents? What do you guys think?
