Marama Davidson: Green Co-Leader on the party's housing policy

The Mike Hosking Breakfast - A podcast by Newstalk ZB - Mondays

The Greens are promising a raft of rental regulations this election. The party's newly-released housing policy includes a cap on rent increases of three percent a year and a national landlord register. Some property investors worry that this cracks down on landlords, with one going so far as to call it landlord-bashing. Others fear some may sell their properties if this comes in. But Green Party Co-Leader Marama Davidson told Tim Dower that renters deserve liveable conditions, and there's significant demand. She says housing has been hit hard by inflation, and it's something they want to combat. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
