Renters (Reform) Bill

Proceeding contribution from Selaine Saxby (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 23 October 2023. It occurred during Debate on bills on Renters (Reform) Bill.

I welcome better protections for renters; in my constituency, swathes of constituents have been evicted so that landlords can flip their properties to become short-term holiday lets. Nationally, there may have been a growth in landlord numbers, but the Country Land and Business Association and the English housing survey both report that rural seats have seen a demise in landlord numbers of about 24%. In my constituency, we have lost 67% of our long-term landlords since the end of the pandemic. What steps will be taken to reverse the trend, so that long-term landlords come back into constituencies such as mine?
