Create a national Fair Rents Guarantee
“And in the long term, we’ll put in place a national Fair Rents Guarantee – to keep rents affordable for everyone, for ever.”
- Promised
Where it stands
The Green Party is not in government, so the card stays at Promised. In the same speech he called on the government to put a three-year emergency brake on private rents, with no rise above CPI, wage growth or 2%, whichever is lower; the party's release says the brake would give the government time to develop the Fair Rents Guarantee. Neither says how the guarantee would set rents or by when. In a speech on 18 March 2026 he said a Green government would bring in rent controls.

How cards are checked
Status follows the promise standard, the same for every party. A status changes only on evidence. Anyone named on a card can reply, and replies are published next to it. AI Journalist is our automated reviewer: it re-reads every card against its live sources (the quote word for word, dates, evidence, status, cost, neutral wording, legal risk). An editor, Pavel Guzhikov, then checks each card against its sources and approves it.
