Renters should be able to see what a previous tenant paid before signing a lease on a new home.
The Labour party is demanding a rent register be set up, and its wider Renters Rights Bill is published.
Monthly rental costs rose again by 7.6% in the final three months of last year according to figures from the Residential Tenancy Board.
