The ACT Greens have written to Chief Minister Andrew Barr to call for a two-year rent freeze in the territory, along with a tighter cap on future increases.

The move has prompted Mr Barr to call on the party to contribute to a cabinet process for the ACT government to consider the policy, Greens minister Rebecca Vassarotti said.
