Nany Platts

**IN Brighton Kemptown and Peacehaven** there are currently more than 8,500 households (one fifth of all households) living in the private rented sector.

**Nancy said:** *“People who are renting from a landlord in Brighton Kemptown and Peacehaven often have to put up with insecure tenancies, poor standards and rising costs. They want a decent home to be able to settle down, put down roots and have peace of mind.*

*“A Labour Government will give private renters a fairer deal by bringing in 3-year stable tenancies, predictable rents to stop excessive rises and banning unfair letting agent fees on tenants. We’ll also drive up standards and bring an end to cold homes.”*

Labour say they will legislate to introduce 3-year stable tenancies with predictable rent rises to prevent excessive rent increases, ban letting agent fees charged to tenants and introduce a national register to drive up standards in the private rented sector. Labour will also set a new target to upgrade properties’ energy efficiency.

**Labour’s shadow Housing Minister, Emma Reynolds, said:** *“Millions of people now rent privately but are faced with rising costs, poor standards and little security.”*

*“That’s why Labour has committed to reforming private renting to get a fairer deal for private renters.”*
