Making renting work: Who really pays for reform?
With the Renters’ Rights Act set to reshape the private rented sector, the question is no longer whether standards should rise, but who bears the cost and what the impact will be. This session brings together funders, landlords, tenant advocates and economists to look at the challenges behind reform. What will higher standards, stronger enforcement and improved security for renters mean when set against pressures on supply, affordability and landlord viability? Panellists will debate how to raise standards without unintended consequences - and what it will take to make renting work in practice.
