Limit maximum rent to £10 per sq m, private and business, and £1 garden space
The extreme rental prices are the main reason people go homeless in UK and a main barrier for people to be able to move in search of jobs. Setting maximum limits will allow clear letting market and stop £500 + for a 10 sq m rooms. Small Businesses will be able to hire people with the money saved.
In Brighton landlords are charging over £500 for 12 sq m, studio flats. Brandon Vaughan agency are their representatives.
This is hardly affordable to anyone with a minimum wage.
Instead of the "Bedroom Tax" we should introduce "Daylight Robber Tax", saving billions of Tax Payer Money in the process.
Small businesses are faced with charges of over £2000 per month for a 40sq m shops, that's more one more person in full time employment or two more students being able to work while studying.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, you could start a new petition asking for the UK Government or Parliament to introduce rent control, if that's what you want to happen.
