They can apply to specific properties or across the private rented market.
They are not currently in operation in the UK but Scotland has plans to introduce them.
Rent pressure zones have been used in Scotland and Ireland in recent years .
Rents are rising fastest in London up 9.6% to an average price of 2,129 , according to ONS .
There has been a growing movement calling for rent controls to bring down private rents.
Calls have intensified as tenants have faced a long wait for promised rent reforms.
The Labour government is planning to introduce a decent homes standard to the sector as well as extending Awaab's Law rules that currently only apply to the social housing sector.
