Private Rented Housing: Disability
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what steps she is taking to improve accessible housing for disabled people in the private rental market.
Answered by Matthew Pennycook
Everyone deserves to live in a secure, decent, and accessible home in which they feel safe. The Renters’ Rights Bill, by ending Section 21 ‘no fault’ evictions, will also provide all tenants with greater security and stability and empower them to challenge bad practice without fear of retaliatory eviction. Disabled people in all housing tenures can apply for a Disabled Facilities Grant to adapt their home to enable them to live safely and independently.
