Amendment to Deregulation Bill Picks Up Retaliatory Evictions 'Baton'

Liberal Democrats in the House of Lords have tabled an amendment on the Deregulation Bill with the aim of preventing retaliatory evictions, following the defeat of the party’s Tenancies (Reform) Bill. Lib Dem Peers signed the amendment to the Deregulation Bill which, if passed, would:
·         Give six months protection for victims of revenge evictions and for renters living in homes so poor, the council has intervened.
·         Put in place key safeguards and exemptions for law-abiding landlords.
The Deregulation Bill will return to the House of Lords in mid January. Read more on Inside Housing.
