Debating the Impact of Proposed Housing Regulations
New rules would let local authorities watch rent prices and suggest areas for rent controls, but the government makes the final call. Tenants would have more rights, like decorating and having pets. Some say the housing bill doesn’t fix the housing crisis enough and want more affordable homes built. As the housing bill is reviewed, there’s a debate over if it’ll work and if there’s enough support for it.
