Rented Housing

Volume 489: debated on Wednesday 11 March 2009

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government (1) what plans she has to bring forward legislative proposals to enact the provisions included in the Law Commission’s Rented Homes Bill; (262721)

(2) what her policy is on the alignment of tenancy terms proposed by the Law Commission.

The proposals in the Law Commission’s Rented Homes Bill were considered as part of the Review of the Private Rented Sector which we commissioned Julie Rugg and David Rhodes to carry out last year. We will be responding formally to the review in the spring. That response will incorporate our response to the Law Commission’s recommendations, including their proposals on the alignment of tenancy terms.
