Question
What will the Welsh Government do to tackle extortionate rent in student housing, which 32 per cent of students have been unable to afford over the last year?
Answer
Answered by Minister for Climate Change
We are currently consulting with a range of stakeholder groups, including NUS Cymru, on a Green Paper Call for Evidence on Fair Rents. This will inform the development of the White Paper, within this government term, on new approaches to affordable rents and access to adequate housing – this forms part of the Cooperation Agreement with Plaid Cymru.
