Consultation has concluded
The Bristol Living Rent City Commission is investigating what is currently happening in private renting in Bristol and how policy could respond better to the affordability problems. Our investigation includes student housing.
The commission wants to hear views on rent control policies and what sort of rent control might be effective in the city. It is important to point out that the city council does not currently have the power to introduce rent control in Bristol. The responses to this survey will help shape the city council’s approach to future discussions with national government in Westminster.
Rent control policies can achieve different things and have different designs. Different approaches to rent control come with different benefits and carry different risks.
If you would like to read more about rent control, including what it is and what it is not, before you answer the questions below then you canfind out more here.
This survey asks about broad principles. If a rent control policy were to be introduced, then there are lots more details that would need to be worked out. We don’t ask about those details here.
This survey asks you to give your views on three topics: • The overall principle and purpose of rent control • Key elements that go into the design of a rent control policy • Four rent control policies
The survey closes on Thursday 29 December 2022. Once you have completed the survey your anonymous responses will be looked at by researchers at the University of Bristol, who are partners in this project, and by our commissioners. A summary of the overall results from the survey will be part of the commission’s report.
