The Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities have published the contents of what is being discussed in Parliament which will affect private and social renters.
It includes:
– Ending the injustice of unfit homes and help protect renters from rising costs,
– Banning section 21 ‘no fault’ evictions and extend the Decent Homes Standard,
– Ending arbitrary rent review clauses, giving tenants stronger powers to challenge poor practice, unjustified rent increases and enabling tenants to be repaid rent for non-decent homes,
– Making it illegal for landlords and agents to have blanket bans on renting to families with children or those in receipt of benefits,
– Giving tenants the right to request a pet, which the landlord must consider and cannot unreasonably refuse.
Please see the link below which gives further details as to what is being covered. We will update our webpage once the White paper is published.
