Debate
Renters’ Rights BillContribution
We absolutely support the abolition of no-fault evictions and fixed-term tenancies. Again, I am thinking, “Hang on, if I have a periodic tenancy and I’m the mum in Cornwall or wherever else you’ve mentioned, I can stay in that house for as long as I want unless I violate one of the grounds for possession. So I’m not going to be a pain in the butt, I am going to pay my rent, et cetera”. Also, the Government have been fair to landlords; they have bolstered the landlord’s side for if the landlord needs to sell or move a family member in, if there is anti-social behaviour, et cetera. We will discuss all that later.
