Renters' Rights Bill: Travellers

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if she will make an assessment of the potential impact of the Renters' Rights Bill on traveller pitches.

Answered by Matthew Pennycook

The Renters' Rights Bill is focused on the assured tenancy regime.

Traveller pitches do not fall within the assured tenancy regime and an assessment is unlikely to provide significant new insights into the issues affecting those who occupy traveller pitches.
