Small Businesses: Rents and Service Charges
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether he has had discussions with representatives from small business on (a) rent and (b) service charge reform for high street tenants.
Answered by Miatta Fahnbulleh
The Government regularly engages with small business representative organisations to garner their views. The ongoing Law Commission work, as set out in my answer to PQ UIN(s): 77535, has already involved a formal consultation with the commercial sector and is likely to include more engagement. There are currently no plans to require commercial landlords to publish standardised information on rent or service charges.
