'Next government must fix our broken rental system': Political leaders told to stand up for renters

Rent campaigners have urged political leaders to act to protect renters from falling into poverty and homelessness in a new open letter.

A total of 27 organisations from the Renters’ Reform Coalition, including the Big Issue, have penned a letter to Rishi Sunak, Keir Starmer and other political leaders, to warn that renters “cannot afford more policy failures”.

The move comes after the Renters Reform Bill failed to make it into law before Sunak announced the 4 July general election.
