The Queen’s Speech sets out the Government’s legislative agenda at the start of the Parliamentary year. Each year, the Queen (this year, Prince Charles) highlights the key pieces of legislation the Government intends to introduce that year.
This year’s Queen’s Speech included the much-anticipated Renters Reform Bill, which has major implications for landlords and their right to possession of their property.
The purpose of this Bill is to fulfil the Conservative Party’s manifesto to abolish ‘no-fault’ section 21 evictions and strengthen landlords’ rights of possession. It also intends to deliver on the Levelling Up mission to halve the number of non-decent rented homes by 2030 and create a rental market that is fairer and more effective for tenants and landlords.
The Government originally consulted on these changes in mid-2019 but it is still yet to publish the outcome of that consultation.
The main elements of this Bill are:
Full details are yet to be published, but it is expected that a white paper containing these details will be published in the near future.
Other bills of potential interest to landlords include:
The Government will introduce a Bill to increase housing tenants’ rights to better homes and enhance their ability to hold their landlords to account, addressing some of the concerns that the Grenfell Tower tragedy raised. The measures in this Bill were first proposed in the 2020 social housing White Paper in which the Government set out its vision to improve the social housing sector in the UK. It also comes following the recent announcement that failing social housing providing sub-standard housing and services would be publicly called out on the government’s website and across social media channels.
The main elements of the Bill are:
February 2022 saw the publication of the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities’ key document, the levelling up White Paper, which set out the Government’s priorities and intention to spread opportunity more equally across the UK, as well as bolster economic growth.
The Levelling Up and Regeneration Bill is the beginning of legislating the aims of this White Paper. It is intended to focus on the regeneration of towns and cities and improve the planning system to give communities a ‘louder’ voice, making sure developments are ‘beautiful’, green, and accompanied by new infrastructure and affordable housing.
The Government state they will be taking forward a ‘comprehensive’ programme of reform to improve fairness and transparency in the leasehold market, part of a wider housing reform agenda to ‘level up’ homeownership.
