Text

I thank the Minister for his answer. In the survey, 62% of respondents said that they delayed reporting necessary repairs to the landlord or letting agent due to fear of being evicted, and 52% ultimately did not report at all. I am sure that each Member here has experience of that with constituents. Is the Minister therefore willing to legislate urgently to end no-fault evictions, prevent homelessness and provide renters with much-needed security within their current tenure?
