SWLA Meet With Luke Pollard MP

Posted on March 13th, 2020

Many changes are afoot within the private rented sector, we met with Luke to discuss these changes and raise points for Luke to take forward.

Items on the agenda included;

Renters Reform Bill (new housing court, abolition of Section 21 and it’s potential consequences and the strengthening of Section 8)
Rogue Landlord Database (low numbers on this database, increase in listings and access improved for it to be effective)
Oversupply of purpose built student housing
Housing Benefit (lifting of the cap)
Covid-19 and the effect this may have for landlords and tenants

SWLA are proud to be a voice for all of its landlord and agent members. We regularly meet with local MPs and councillors to ensure that good landlords are getting a fair deal. We look forward to meeting Luke again later in the year.
