Landlords are raising rents at the fastest pace since records began. Many tenants are forced to cut back on essentials or even leave their homes. Yet landlords portray *themselves* as the victims, complaining of "demonisation" and "mistreatment" in the media 1/2

Landlords will say anything to protect their runaway profits and advance their right to mistreat & exploit tenants. They're spearheading organised resistance to renters reform. The Welsh Government needs to show leadership by ignoring the lies and implementing rent controls! 2/2

“Rent control does what is says on the tin, it immediately stops you being priced out of your home and your community.” 👏

“Until politicians start building the homes we need for the future, we need rent control. And we need it now.” We’ll keep fighting until we get it done👊

“Wales recorded the fastest pace of growth in the country in August at 6.5%, matching the pace of growth set in July, which was the highest since at least 2010.” Rent controls NOW.

“Daniel Edwards, board member for Wales at ACORN, said while some rent increases could be attributed to landlords passing on increases in mortgage rates, they were rising at "unsustainable levels" long beforehand.” Rent controls NOW. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-…

Across the world the story is always the same - landlords will use any tactic they can to resist rent controls. They’re organised. We have to be too.

Rents in Wales have risen AGAIN - reaching a rent-to-income level of 33.4%. This is now past the threshold at which homelessness levels begin spiking drastically. Rent controls now. businessnewswales.com/wales-average-…

Spot on from Living Rent. Landlords exploiting loopholes isn’t a reason to claim rent controls don’t work, it’s a sign that they need to be stronger!
