Speaking in the House of Lords on 22 April 2025

Debate

Renters’ Rights Bill

Contribution

In future, all tenancies will be assured. Landlords will be able to take back possession only where they use one of the statutory grounds, and tenants will be able to challenge an eviction in court if they feel the ground is not being used legitimately. This will encourage landlords to respond to tenants’ concerns and to seek to resolve any issues. This simpler, single system of assured tenancies will ensure both parties also understand their rights and responsibilities and feel confident in exercising them.
