Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, whether his Department has made an assessment of the potential merits of taking steps to encourage landlords to offer housing credits or equity in the housing that they are renting to tenants.
We have not made an assessment of this. We are committed to giving tenants in the private rented sector greater security and will be publishing a White Paper later this Spring to set out more details on how we will abolish section 21 evictions that allow a landlord to evict a tenant without providing a reason.
