Renters Reform Bill is needed in county now

PRIVATE renters feel ignored by politicians.

Yet, research by homelessness charity Shelter shows that our views on housing will influence the next general election.

To give a local example, 48 per cent of private renters in Cheltenham say housing policies will be a factor when deciding who to vote for at the next General Election.

People have their rights. Too many estate agents are getting away with this. Years of promises to reform our broken renting system are meaningless until changes become law.

The government must bring forward the Renters’ Reform Bill.

Renters in our community need it now.
