The Bristol Mayor has said the chances the Government will allow Bristol to hold a trial on rent caps are "not high".
His words come as people struggling in Bristol’s crazy private rental housing market are being invited to share their experiences and help make the case for more rent controls.
Mayor Marvin Rees has previously said he wants to ask the Government to let Bristol trial rent caps - but first needs to be sure how renters think they could work, and what other controls could be put in place to ease the spiralling cycle of rising rents, evictions, and people being priced out of the city.
