Green Party Set To Debate Policy Of Abolishing Landlords

The Green Party plans rent controls, new taxes on landlords, and mass council house building to reduce private rentals and boost social housing, reflecting its eco-populist agenda.

  • The Green Party voted at its Bournemouth conference to adopt a motion titled 'Abolish Landlords' focused on ending private landlordism in Britain.
  • This motion reflects the party’s enduring position that private landlords have not succeeded in delivering stable, affordable housing for working people.
  • The policy includes introducing rent controls, ending right to buy and buy-to-let mortgages, taxing landlords, and building council housing on a massive scale.
  • Steve Jackson, co-chair of Greens Organise, said the private rental sector is "broken beyond repair," reflecting the party’s commitment to these reforms.
  • If implemented, this policy could significantly reshape the housing market by transferring power to tenants and expanding social housing provision.
