Host John Stepek and author of the Money Distilled newsletter is joined by Bloomberg reporter Helen Chandler-Wilde and Stuart Trow, author of “Young, Poor and Totally Screwed” to unpack one of the Labour government's key reforms; the Renters’ Rights Act.

The act, which has just received Royal Assent, aims to moderate rent increases, ban “no-fault” evictions, and end fixed-term tenancies.
