  • In this episode of Good Landlording, Suzanne Smith and Richard Jackson discuss what the King's Speech said today about the contents of the new Renters' Rights Bill, which will apply to the private rented sector in England. The discussion includes the key provisions, the extent to which it differs from the Renters Reform Bill, what doesn't appear to be in the Renters' Rights Bill and the situation with EPCs. >> Ask a question: Click here for question form What are the key provisions of the new Renters' Rights Bill The King's Speech itself didn't say much about the new Renters' Rights Bill, other than: "Legislation will be introduced to give greater rights and protections to people renting their homes, including ending no fault evictions, and reforming grounds for possession". More detail was given in the briefing notes (see page 69-71) that accompanied the King's Speech and Richard discuss what the briefing notes to the King's Speech say about the new Renters' Rights Bill: Abolition of Section 21 ‘no fault evictions’ New Section 8 grounds for possession Ability for tenants to challenge rent increases Ending of rental bidding wars Right for tenants to request a pet Applying a Decent Homes Standard to the PRS Applying “Awaab’s Law” to the PRS Creation of digital private rented sector database Private Rented Sector Ombudsman Anti-discrimination New enforcement and investigatory powers >> Blog post: What the King’s Speech says about the new Renters’ Rights Bill >> Blog post: How to be a pet friendly landlord What did the King's Speech say about EPCs? It was a manifesto commitment of the Labour Party to "ensure homes in the private rented sector meet minimum energy efficiency standards by 2030, saving renters hundreds of pounds per year. Nobody will be forced to rip out their boiler as a result of our plans." Although energy was mentioned in the speech, there was no specific reference to requiring landlords to meet new minimum energy efficiency standards. This is something that would need primary legislation. >> Related episode: #16: What the Labour government has in store for landlords >> Related episode: #14: Manifesto pledges on leasehold reform Credits window.addEventListener('message',function(e){'https://widgets.blubrry.com'===e.origin&&'object'==typeof e.data&&(document.getElementById(e.data.senderId).style.height=e.data.height+'px')}) Music: "Paradise Found" by Kevin MacLeod of Incompetech.
