Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what steps he is taking to support small-scale landlords in the private rental sector.

The Renters’ Rights Act will provide tangible benefits for responsible landlords who provide high-quality homes and a good service to their tenants, including simpler regulation and clear and expanded possession grounds, so that landlords can regain their properties quickly when necessary.

The government has not introduced any specific measures to support small-scale landlords in the private rented sector.
