Sir Keir Starmer has vowed to end renter "bidding wars" if his party comes into power. The Labour leader revealed his plans to introduce new laws which will prevent landlords from "ripping tenants off." "No-fault evictions will go under a Labour government and we'll bring in legal provisions to make sure we can take effective action in relation to mould and other poor conditions that have a massive impact on health," Mr Starmer said.

00:00We've got a really good plan for protecting those who are renting, because at the moment
00:05rents are far too high and the conditions aren't what they should be.
00:09One of the things we want to stop is the bidding war, where landlords effectively get renters
00:13to bid up and up and up, which pushes the rents up.
00:16We will stop that, prevent that happening.
00:18Also want to deal with deposits, but also no-fault evictions will go under a Labour
00:23government and we'll bring in provisions, legal provisions, to make sure we can take
00:27effective action in relation to mould and other poor conditions, which have a massive
00:31impact on health.
00:33So a really strong package of reforms to protect those who are renting, but my view is they're
00:39not properly protected at the moment.
