National Assembly for Wales

To propose that Senedd:

1. Notes a proposal for a Bill on rent controls.

2. Notes that the purpose of this Bill would be to:

a) help combat some of the more severe effects of Wales’s housing emergency, affecting over a million people across the nation;

b) mitigate significant future rent increases, such as those seen in the rented sector over the last 12 months;

c) introduce a system which restricts rents and rent increases to affordable levels and local factors, closing the gap between wage growth and the cost of living.
