The tenants’ association Asloca is fighting plans currently going through parliament that will strengthen the rights of landlords.
30,000 have signed an online petition demanding the reforms be stopped.

Asloca says the changes could lead to an explosion in rent costs and make it easier to cancel tenant agreements.
