Mr Tanmanjeet Singh Dhesi: To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what plans he has to restrict the number of months of rent landlords can request upfront; and what assessment he has made of the effect on tenants in the private rental market of landlords being able to charge tenants six months of rent upfront on their accommodation.
Eddie Hughes:
It is for landlords and tenants to agree the amount of rent that should be
charged and how much should be paid in advance, according to individual circumstances.
We do not expect it to be the norm that landlords ask for multiple months of
rent in advance.
