.Matthew Pennycook MP makes a good point. Landlord MPs are arguing for a tenant period of commitment - AKA a tenant trap, based on fear of short term lets, but there's no evidence to back this.

Renters lose £669 for EVERY move, PLUS stress and upheaval. The argument doesn't make sense.

The minister 👇🏼 talks a good game about what the ✨COULD✨ deliver. But without serious amendments, it WON'T deliver any of this.

The is back in the commons.

MPs are debating what’s in the Bill. But our message is clear.

What's in the Bill isn’t good enough. It won’t fix the problems that renters face day in, day out. This bill needs serious amendments or it will be a colossal failure.

PMQs kicking off with Angela Rayner 🌹 pressing Oliver Dowden on when the Government actually plans to abolish section 21 evictions.
1. We need a date not an indefinite kicking of the can down the road.

Since the inception of the Renters (Reform) Bill, the government has repeatedly watered it down in favour of landlords - while also failing to address key loopholes. The result is a bill that won't deliver for renters. It's not fit for purpose.

The should have been the start of a fairer, better rental system. Instead, the Government has betrayed renters and given in to a handful of self-interested landlord MP’s.

Ahead of Third Reading we've joined Renters' Reform Coalition to call this Bill out as a failure.
