THE Rent Freeze Bill has been published and outlines the Government’s aims to better protect tenants in response to the cost-of-living crisis.
The bill aims to restrict landlords from raising rents at all – with exceptions – until March 2023 and also puts a ban on evictions for the same period.
Rents will be frozen unless landlords are experiencing “increased property costs” such as increased mortgage interest or service charges, the bill confirms.
