Government caps rent rises at 2% for up to ten years
Original: Government caps rents at 2% as inflation approaches 5% and allows tenants to stay for up to ten years
A government has announced a cap limiting annual rent increases to 2%, well below inflation, which is approaching 5%. Under the same measures, tenants are granted the right to remain in their homes for up to ten years. The package is aimed at protecting renters from rising housing costs, though it is likely to draw criticism from landlords and property investors concerned about returns.
Why now: Housing affordability and inflation are pressing political issues, and a rent cap paired with long-term tenant security is a significant intervention in the rental market.
