Rented Housing: Construction
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of the Renters' Rights Bill on the (a) popularity and (b) take-up of Build to Rent new build.
Answered by Matthew Pennycook
My Department has engaged with a range of organisations, including Build to Rent operators, to understand their interests in the development of the Renters’ Rights Bill.
We do not expect the Bill to have a destabilising effect on the rental market or the Build to Rent sector.
We will continue to work with good landlords and their representative associations to ensure a smooth transition to the new tenancy system.
