Part of the debate – in the Senedd on 9 February 2022.
Motion NDM7831 Mabon ap Gwynfor
Supported by Rhys ab Owen, Sioned Williams
To propose that Senedd:
1. Notes a proposal for a Bill on rent controls.
2. Notes that the purpose of this Bill would be to:
a) help combat some of the more severe effects of Wales’s housing emergency, affecting over a million people across the nation;
b) mitigate significant future rent increases, such as those seen in the rented sector over the last 12 months;
c) introduce a system which restricts rents and rent increases to affordable levels and local factors, closing the gap between wage growth and the cost of living.
