Government Confirms NO Announcement Due On Long Term Tenancies


The MHCLG has confirmed there is NO announcement due on long term tenancies and reassured landlords all responses will be taken into account before a decision is made. An unnamed source said Housing Secretary James Brokenshire is backing calls for mandatory three-year tenancies, with a ‘formal decision’ due to be announced by the Government. In an official response to an enquiry made by the RLA, his department confirmed:
·         The consultation ends next week and Ministers will consider responses ahead of announcing next steps.
·         No date has been set for an announcement.
The RLA had expressed concerns about the news report, with the consultation into the Government’s proposals not due to be completed until August 26th. Read more on the RLA website.
