SUGGESTED

“It fails to tackle the main cause of our housing woes: a lack of supply. The Renters’ Reform Bill aims to improve tenant security in the private rental sector by scrapping no-fault evictions, but it won’t solve Britain’s housing crisis. Regulation begets more regulation, bureaucracy begets more bureaucracy.
“In effect, this would mark the end of fixed-term rental contracts. Tenancy agreements may still have a notional end date, but it will be largely meaningless, because nothing happens on that date.”
