Labour will create a national landlord register to protect tenants from what the party calls “unscrupulous property owners.:
Party leader Sir Kier Starmer, in an interview with the Mirror newspaper, says he stands behind a “talented generation … left behind and forced to struggle” with fast-increasing rents.
Starmer says in the interview: “There is a whole generation of young people, with dreams of homeownership, that now feel unattainable and unrealistic. Generation rent have been completely abandoned by this government.”
