It isn’t all bad news: Labour’s Renters Rights Bill is on its way to being law

Criticise Labour for apparent big mistakes but the new government seems to be doing right by us on the small stuff.

The Renters Rights Bill, currently going through Parliament, is a reaction to years of refusal by successive Tory governments to rectify iniquities in the private rent system.

And it’s pretty good! Here’s the Mirror:

MPs are set to vote through Labour’s Renters Rights bill on Tuesday, banning no-fault evictions and demanding landlords fix serious health hazards like damp and mould.

But more measures are also expected to be added to the bill in the Commons, including one preventing guarantors of tenants who have died being chased for excessive amounts of future rent.

Heartless landlords will be barred from pursuing grieving friends and relatives of tenants who have died for thousands of pounds in rent, in a new boost for renters rights.
