Our research with @jrf_uk has shown that rent controls can save tenants thousands a year, while avoiding shocks to housing supply.
Movement on EDMOs and more is welcome, but we need caps on rent to tackle the housing crisis 👇

The Autonomy Institute retweeted
Woah there Tom, sounds like you’ve found some economists who support rent control 😉
Rent control that exempts new build homes could deliver more affordability for renters while ensuring we don’t discourage vital new housing supply.
Good to discuss excellent work on this by @jrf_uk @IPPR @NEF, and get the public’s view from Persuasion’s @SteveAkehurst.

New @Autonomy_Inst report detailing how this would work, commissioned by @DaleVince, being published next week 👀
Exclusive @Survation polling for Babelfish: 71% would back a total ban on political donations in a referendum, and just 22% think the current system is fair.
