Private Rented Housing

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what (a) changes to processes and (b) increases in capacity would be required in the courts and tribunals system to implement the policies set out in the white paper entitled A fairer private rented sector, published on 16 June 2022, CP 693.

Answer

The Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) is currently working to produce a Justice Impact Test (JIT) that will clarify the implications of repealing section 21 of the Housing Act, the new grounds for possession and the other measures detailed in the White Paper on case volumes, court processes and resources.

A JIT is a mandatory specific impact test - undertaken as part of the wider impact assessment process - that considers the impact of government policy and legislative proposals on the justice system.
