Speaking in the House of Lords on 15 July 2025

Debate

Renters’ Rights Bill

Contribution

For example, the proposed prohibition on category 2 hazards in Amendment 109 is technically infeasible. Under the housing health and safety rating system, every home will, by definition, contain some category 2 hazards, even if they pose minimal risk. Enshrining such a prohibition in law would create a standard that is impossible to meet in practice, leading to legal uncertainty and administrative burden.
