Probably as politically sounds good. Where it has ben implemented: Supply has decreased Rents have increased Tenants get stuck in unsuitable accommodation as they can't afford to move https://www.nmhc.org/globalassets/knowledge-library/rent-control-literature-review-final2.pdf

Under Tenants Fee Act 2019 deposits are limited to 5 (or 6) week deposit cap unless you are not required to comply.

No time line so no value. Will fall eventually and IMF can refer to post and say "told you so".

Not yet and not heard mention of it. That is sort of final notification I would expect if information had been previously requested and not supplied. Majority of it I should already have. Be good if council adhered to same turnaround time when contacting them.

My rents rising significantly but I don't see any demand from buyers despite increased yields. If there was an opportunity to get out I would take it.
