Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, with reference to the Levelling Up White Paper, whether he plans to work with and strengthen tenancy unions to help meet the target of reducing the number of non-decent homes by 50 per cent by 2030.

Answer

We are committed to drive up standards in private rented accommodation and we will be consulting on introducing a legally binding Decent Homes Standard in the Private Rented Sector. We will publish a White Paper in Spring this year that will set out our proposals for reform of the private rented sector and are very happy to engage with tenancy unions.
