PRIVATE TENANTS

That this House notes the continuing problem faced by England's eight million private tenants of irresponsible landlords and poorly-maintained private rented properties, highlighted in a report by Shelter; and urges the Government to protect private tenants by implementing reforms to combat this problem, including through a National Register of Landlords, regulation of letting and managing agents and the institution of compulsory written tenancy agreements.
