The Green Party is preparing to announce a new package of tenant protections as its annual conference brings housing affordability back into the UK political spotlight.

Green Party leader Zack Polanski is expected to outline a proposed triple-lock-style guarantee for private renters during his conference speech on 2 October.

The proposal is aimed at addressing housing costs and improving protections for people renting privately, particularly younger adults facing affordability pressures.

The announcement comes as housing remains a major issue in UK politics, with parties debating rental costs, tenant rights and the availability of affordable homes.

The conference is also taking place amid wider political discussions about the future direction of the UK’s housing policies and the role of government in supporting renters.

The details of the proposed guarantee, including how it would be implemented and funded, will be important to understanding its potential impact on tenants and landlords.
