MORE than 30 MPs are supporting an amendment to the Renters’ Rights Bill calling for a cap on rents.

Ministers will debate and vote on amendments to the long-awaited Bill for the final time tomorrow.

The Bill contains major reforms including a ban on Section 21 evictions, which allow landlords to evict tenants with just two months’ notice without providing a reason, and new measures to ensure landlords fix health hazards like damp and mould.
