Private Rented Housing: Tenants – Parliamentary Written Answer


Peter Kyle: To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what steps his Department is taking to ensure that private tenants are aware of their rights.
Mrs Heather Wheeler: The Government already produces a range information and advice for prospective and existing tenants. To improve the information available, we have created and updated a series of consumer-focused online ‘how to’ guides. These guides will help educate and empower potential or existing renters, landlords and property agents so they are confident in making informed decisions and know where to go for support. They will help tenants, landlords and property agents to understand their rights and responsibilities by providing a single source of information for rules, regulations and advice. We plan to publish the new and updated guides on Gov.uk shortly.
