MPs and Peers to Consider Access to Rented Homes for under-35s

The All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for the Private Rented Sector (PRS) has launched an inquiry into access to rented housing for the under 35s. Following changes to housing benefit rules for the under 35s and the use by some local authorities of planning rules requiring planning permission for homes to be converted to shared housing for rent, the Group will consider the pressures faced by young people seeking rented accommodation and what can be done to support them. All interested organisations are invited to submit evidence and a report will be produced with recommendations being made to Ministers. As well as written submissions, members will take oral evidence from experts on the 17th June and 8th July.  Read more on the RLA website.
