Mr Barry Sheerman: To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what plans he has to deliver reforms for renters through the proposed renters reform bill.
Eddie Hughes: The
Government remains committed to building back fairer and delivering a better
deal for renters. We will publish a White Paper in 2022 which sets out a
package of reforms to create a fairer private rented sector that works for both
tenants and landlords. This will include further detail on repealing Section 21
of the Housing Act 1988, and on targeted enforcement measures that drive out
criminal landlords. We will explore the merits of a landlord register as part
of this work.
