⚖️ Renters' Rights Bill, Representing our members. The obvious question on everyone's mind as they continue to digest the Renters Rights Bill: what's next? A Public Bill Committee of MPs will now scrutinise the draft legislation line by line and will provide the first opportunity to propose, debate and vote on suggested amendments and new clauses. The Committee stage is expected to be complete by 28 November 2024. Timothy Douglas, Head of Policy and Campaigns at Propertymark had this to say🗣️ "Whilst we welcome commitments from the UK Government to not introduce rent controls, it is clear that much more needs to be done to ensure the Renters’ Rights Bill gets the balance right for landlords, agents and tenants. Many MPs raised Propertymark’s concerns that the UK Government hasn’t yet produced an impact assessment on the changes and the removal of fixed term tenancies that currently ensure tenants and landlords know how long the rental period is and what their rent costs are. Propertymark will engage further at Committee Stage to ensure the Bill is evidence based and the role of property agents is incorporated fairly so they can support measures to drive up standards across the private rented sector. This will provide benefits for tenants and landlords alike." ARLA Propertymark

🔑 Calls for rent caps rejected in Renters' Rights debate. At the Renters' Rights Bill's second reading, rent caps were a key topic of debate. However, when asked, the Secretary of State dismissed the idea, stating that rent controls restrict the housing supply, which doesn’t help anyone. Propertymark stands against rent caps, which could reduce rental supply and distort the market. Finding balanced solutions that ensure a healthy PRS while protecting tenants is vital. Propertymark is pleased to see this firm stance, having campaigned on this issue in England and the devolved nations. #RentersRights #RentCaps #RentControls #Landlords
