Proceeding contribution from James Duddridge (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Friday, 29 January 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Mortgage Repossessions (Protection of Tenants Etc.) Bill.


Mortgage Repossessions (Protection of Tenants Etc.) Bill

The Minister mentions tenants entering into an agreement in good faith, but how about tenants entering into an agreement in bad faith? For example, would it be possible, under the Bill, for an individual who is living in a property and having their property repossessed to take on a tenant in bad faith—perhaps a friend—further to delay the repossession order? I cannot quite see how we would avoid that situation of people taking on tenants in bad faith. If that is not covered, could it be dealt with in Committee?
