Renters Reform Bill won't pass before General Election

This is a real shame for all those that have worked tirelessly to get this to a happy ground and fairness for all. I don't think this will go away, it will be parked. Be careful if Labour come in as their anti-Landlord/pro-tenant rhetoric is worse than that of the Tories in my opinion. Another unnecessary prolongued period of pain and uncertainty for the sluggish, struggling Private Rental Sector.

Kicking the can down the road yet again. A few, no doubt property rich, MPs prevented it from being dealt with before, so I cannot see it being dealt with anytime soon. The next housing minister needs to be backed up with a robust and fair policy to protect the interests of both tenants and landlord. With roughly 1 in 5 households being rented from the private sector alone, it's such a major blow to a very large proportion of the population. For many years landlords have been able to increase rents to comfortably pay the bills, whilst tenants have simply had to suck up the punches or be evicted. Now landlords are feeling the pinch after had had well over a decade of hyper low mortgage rates and tax breaks very swiftly removed. Over a long time, the gradually developing 'natural cull' of private landlords could help create less of a housing affordability issue as more property becomes available.

Yet another sign of Sunak's incompetance. Many of his own MPs are dismayed at the amount of bills, that they have put so much time into, that won't get Royal assent and turned into law. All due to his mega-gamble of an early election. The Renters Reform Bill was much anticipated and seen as a safety net for many in poorly maintaned accomodation, allowing them to raise concerns with landlords without fear of eviciton. Sunak's legacy is in pieces, even he doesn't know what he stands for.
