Armed Forces BillContribution
Amendment 18 would bring single living accommodation into scope of the reporting requirements contained in the Renters’ Rights Act. Single living accommodation supports service personnel in meeting operational needs and is not comparable with self-contained civilian housing. A closer comparator, student accommodation, is also not covered by the decent homes standard. Given the range of single living accommodation types and shared facilities, parts of the standard cannot be directly applied.
