So we need to ensure that our rental laws are fit for purpose and that they recognise, first and foremost, that a home is a building block of our lives. We should be able to rely on this feeling and this sense of being able to put our roots down as we go about sending our children to our local schools, as we develop relationships and friendships in our local neighbourhood, and as we go about the ordinary living tasks of everyday life: our laughing, our cooking, our sleeping, and loving family.
