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!
