Green Party proposes rent increase limits

From Morning Report, 6:42 am on 3 July 2023

The Green Party wants to introduce a new Bill, if elected, which would limit annual increases to rents, and improve the quality of rental accommodation.

Rent increases would be restricted to a maximum of three-percent each year.

Opposition parties don't like the idea, with National suggesting the Bill would see some landlords exit the market as a result, leaving fewer rental options.

Green Party co-leader Marama Davidson spoke to Corin Dann.
