Dr Kieran Mullan: To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what steps his Department is taking to create a fairer private rented sector.
Eddie Hughes:
We will bring forward proposals to reform tenancy law to abolish Section 21
evictions and improve security for tenants in the private rented sector, as
well as strengthening repossession grounds for landlords when they have valid
grounds. Proposals for a new ‘lifetime’ deposit model will also be outlined, to
ease the burden on tenants when moving from one tenancy to the next. We are
also committed to raising standards in privately rented accommodation, and
driving out rogue landlords, including by ensuring all tenants have a right to
redress, and ensuring well targeted, effective enforcement that drives out
criminal landlords.
