Developer says housing minister was right to criticise mayor but says both parties must now come together to find a solution.

Sadiq Khan tell supporters at his Hackney launch yesterday that the “Prime Minister will have to give us the powers we need" to introduce a rent cap in the capital.

Mayor has been bragging on Twitter about the success of his online tool since launching it last May but has been choosy about which data to promote.

Robert Jenrick reveals a change in direction for his department, which last year was considering rent controls to help 'make tenancies more secure'.

Claim is made by Residential Landlords Association after it looked at schemes in US, Italy, Sweden and Germany all of which made renting more difficult.

Letter sent to The Sunday Times bemoans the political squabbling over Brexit and Labour plans to further reform the private rental market.

Mayor's bid to regulate rents, introduce open-ended tenancies and increase notice periods to four months have been savaged by ARLA.

Rent cap policy is rumoured to be launched next week but has been savaged by Tory mayor candidate Shaun Bailey as 'disastrous'.
