A petition that requested a limit on how much the owners’ races can increase more than 42,000 signatures in just one week.

It was initiated by Bridget Chapman, or Durham County, with the support of the generation Rent campaign generation, after the owner increased his monthly rent by almost 20%, or £ 100.

She said: “At this time, the owners can increase the income of their tenants for whatever they want. Rentals can, and suddenly rise. Sometimes for hundreds of pounds in Montrs faster than the cost of living and faster than wages.

“This is what happened to me and my family after my lessor recently walked my rent for £ 100.

“I have been rented privately all my adult life, but receiving a sudden rental of rent as a shock and has been very stressful, special as the owner is a warning of only one month. This is an increase of almost 20%!

“As a single father who lives with my two children, with an income to live, the impact will extend through my life. I feel broken down by this system. Extreme steam in my previous home took me to the hurried bee with pneumonia again, I have suffered a great blow to my safety.

“This will have a great impact on my finances, with my home now much more than one fight to pay every month in all.

“Currently, important reforms in the Role’s rights bill are going through Parliament. This will help make the rent more fair in England, including the completion of the evictions of section 21, which currently allow owners to evict it with a reason.

“But they do nothing to stop the rental rental of rental like the one my family has faced. While the government says that tenants can challenge the” unreasonable “rental in court, decisions will be based on what the Windff rent.

“While the owners can set the tenants of their own homes with unwanted rental increases, interest rates will still face unfair evictions and will be threatened with the lack of housing. The investigation of the Joseph Rowntree foundation that shows more than a health or private thirty costs.

Chapman points out the 2024 winter survey of Generation Rent, which found that most roles (61%) reported that their owner had asked them to pay a high rent in the last 12 months almost a quarter (24%) reported an increase of approximately £ 100. This compares with only 9%of reports of this size in July 2022, almost an increase of three times. Meanwhile, the 2024 English private owners survey found one in five owners up the rent in 15% or more, the last time renewed or extended a lease.

The most common reason why passengers reported that they had been given for their rental increases, was not because its owner faced incessioned costs, or was fighting more, was simply because of the growing rewards of “the market.” Almost a third (31%) or the owners have blamed the highest market rentals, while an additional 7% states that the increase was due to leave the agent advice.

“This is indefensible,” he continued. “If rentals finally feel safe in our own homes, we need protections of shock changes.”

“Private owners should not be able to increase the highest races than inflation or wages. The government can and should act to change this.”
