Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, pursuant to the Answer of 27 April 2023 to Question 182401 on Students: Cost of Living, if he will make an estimate of the number of landlords in the private rented sector who passed on energy price support to tenants.
This question was answered on 9th May 2023
No such estimate has been made. Landlords who pay for their tenants’ energy costs must pass on the financial discount they have received from the Government’s energy support schemes, for example, where a landlord charges their tenant an all-inclusive monthly payment that consists of rent and energy costs.
