Background
Put a rental cap on properties so that landlords /agents cannot charge ridiculous amounts of money for small spaces self-contained spaces which are clearly not affordable. This leads to people being homeless or living in hostels and not being able to find somewhere to live due to the checks and high rental prices for people who do normal jobs such as cleaners, retail, security, hospitality etc who are on a basic minimal wage.
