Rent increases in Malta really make me angry. Over the last three years, my rent increased 50 per cent and that included my downsizing to a one bedroom.

I really want some measures put in place by the government. I expect some action to be taken.

I work as a bus driver and I am finding it tough making ends meet. I do not have a family here for support, though I have Maltese nationality.

I have launched an online petition for people to sign before the Budget (www.gopetition.com/petitions/regulate-rental-market.html) and I have also set up a Facebook group for tenants to share their own horror stories (https://www.facebook.com/groups/rentripoff/).
