'We are facing a rent crisis in this country and this Government seems to be turning a blind eye.' | ✍🏿 Dawn Butler (DawnButlerBrent) writes for MetroOpinion
Yet, this is the situation for millions of people across the UK who rent from private landlords, as private rents are now rising at the fastest rate for seven years.
They’re facing agonising choices, between heating and eating, as wages are simply not enough to cope with rising costs. In your 20s it can almost be an adventure to share, but in your 40s and 50s it is a different story. Some, mainly men, if they are lucky, are able to move back in with their parents.Official statistics show a considerable decline in home ownership in recent years, which can also drive up rent prices.
People deserve a safe, warm, liveable, and affordable place to live. No-one should have to move miles away from where they are from just so they can afford a decent house or flat. The Government could, and should, take action to solve these problems.
