Private Rented Housing: Rents
- Question
-
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to the press release entitled Stronger protections and greater confidence for renters, published on 9 September 2026, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of the new rent determination service on landlords' ability to increase rents to reflect changes in costs.
- Answer
-
The role of the new rent determination function will be to determine the current market rent. It provides a quicker and more proportionate route for resolving disputes and does not change a landlord's ability to propose rents that reflect market conditions.
