EXTENSION OF THE TENANCY DEPOSIT SCHEME CAMPAIGN

That this House welcomes the Government's announcement recommending that the threshold for the Tenancy Deposit Scheme be raised from the ??25,000 to ??100,000 which will ensure that many more people, including thousands of students, will be protected from rogue landlords wrongly withholding deposits; celebrates the success of the campaign for such a change, which was supported by the National Union of Students, Unipol and The Sun newspaper; notes that the Use Class Order consultation calls on the Government to ensure that the results of this consultation become law as quickly as possible; expresses concern that the Government has not set a date or a timescale for introducing this important change; and, with the general election imminent, urges the Government to do so before Parliament is dissolved.
