The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, has called for an immediate private rent freeze for Londoners, following new City Hall analysis which shows that renters in poorly insulated housing are paying a premium on their energy bills this winter.
As well as a rent freeze, which would save private tenants £3,000 over two years, the Mayor is advocating for the introduction of an energy Lifeline Tariff to ensure the most vulnerable people receive a base amount of free energy every day.
