The second amendment from the noble Lord, Lord Best, Amendment 84, appears to restrict the ability of a tenant to challenge their rent increase to the first four years of their tenancy. Such an approach would result in differing rules applying to tenants depending on how long they had been in a property. It would disadvantage tenants with long-term tenancies who would have to either accept a rent increase or leave. This is not a desirable outcome, and not one that the Government can support.
