Lord Greaves

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they have proposals to increase the level of security of tenure of tenants of private housing, and in particular holders of assured tenancies, and the protection provided against excessive rent levels.[HL4476]

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department for Communities and Local Government
(Baroness Andrews)

We continue to monitor the operation of the private rented sector and the balance of rights and responsibilities between landlords and tenants. However, we have no plans at present to amend the assured tenancy legislation established under the Housing Acts of 1988 and 1996.
