The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps he has taken to help manage work required to meet EPC level C for houses of multiple occupancy.

Answered by Miatta Fahnbulleh

The Government is now consulting on increasing minimum energy efficiency standards in the domestic private rented sector. The consultation sets out proposals on the maximum spend required from landlords and the exemptions regime to manage the cost burden placed on landlords and the impact on the rental market. We are considering how we can best support landlords to meet the new standards and welcome responses from landlords to the consultation.
