Standing up for Renters’ Rights

Last night, I was proud to vote for the Renters’ Rights Bill at Third Reading.

This bill will deliver protections for 11 million private renters 👇

🏠 Abolish Section 21 no fault evictions

🏠Landlords will no longer be able to ask for multiple months of rent upfront

🏠 Bans rental bidding wars

🏠 Applies the Decent Homes Standard to private rented homes

🏠 Awaab’s Law will be extended, so renters have the right to live in homes free from damp and mould

🏠 Grieving families won’t be forced to pay rent or bills if a loved one who is renting a property passes away

🏠 Stops students feeling pressured into signing a tenancy agreement for a new house so early in the academic year

🏠 Renters given the right to request a pet in their home

And much more!
