Show Notes

London’s renting crisis isn’t going away anytime soon. 


Figures show that annual rent growth has risen by 20% in the capital, the shortage of affordable rental accommodation is increasing, and the lack of protection for private tenants means the Renters' Reform Bill can’t come quickly enough. 


Prudence Ivey, the Evening Standard’s Homes & Property Editor, explains the current issues and trends in the London rental market.


In part two, Conor O’Shea from Generation Rent, a campaign group led by and for private renters in the UK, reveals what happened when they sat down with Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, Michael Gove, to discuss the Renters' Reform Bill.
