Ian Lavery: To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if he will introduce longer minimum rental contracts to provide renters with more financial stability.
Christopher Pincher:
A Renters’ Reform Bill will enhance renters’ security and improve protections
for tenants by abolishing ‘no-fault’ evictions. The Government is committed to
bringing forward legislation to abolish section 21 but such legislation must be
balanced and considered to achieve the right outcomes for the sector. It is
only right that providing tenants with greater security of tenure is balanced
with an assurance that landlords are able to recover their properties where they
have valid reasons to do so. We will bring forward the Renters Reform Bill as a
priority once the urgencies of responding to the pandemic have passed.
