Speaking in the House of Lords on 24 April 2025

Debate

Renters’ Rights Bill

Contribution

Current provisions in the Bill mean that landlords will already be required to present evidence that the ground is met before being granted possession. For ground 1, which relates to moving in, the landlord would need to provide evidence verified by a statement of truth signed by either the landlord or the family member if they intend to move into the property. For ground 1A, the landlord would need to provide evidence verified by a statement of truth signed by the landlord. The evidence must include a letter from a solicitor or estate agent confirming engagement in relation to the sale of the property.
