Debate

Renters’ Rights Bill

Contribution

Ensuring the effective continuation of sublets is essential. Above all, when a tenant is not using all, or even part, of their space, subletting enables a more efficient use of underoccupied homes. This is particularly important in areas facing acute housing shortages. Subletting is also a vital tool in our efforts to address the severe supply constraints currently affecting the sector. Such arrangements often provide access to more affordable rents, support tenants’ incomes and give them flexibility to manage changes in their personal circumstances.
