The last House of Commons debate on the Renters\u2019 Rights Bill is taking place today.<\/p>\n
Details that could be ironed out include measures on whether tenants are required to take out insurance if they want to rent with a pet.<\/p>\n
Oli Sherlock, managing director of Insurance at Goodlord, said: \u201cThe legislative equivalent of Groundhog Day is finally coming to an end. Monday\u2019s Commons debate is practically the last hurdle before the much-delayed and even more discussed Renters\u2019 Rights Bill receives royal assent.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter Monday, there may be a period of performative \u2018ping pong\u2019 between the houses as the final details are ironed out, but we predict that the Bill will pass before Parliament rises for conference season on September 16th.<\/p>\n
\t <\/p>\n
\u201cThere are a few elements that remain undecided and which will be debated on Monday. This includes the details around pets in lets and whether tenants will be required to take out pet insurance to cover any potential damage.<\/p>\n
\u201cHowever, we don\u2019t predict any major surprises. As a rule, expect any government-backed amendments from the Lords debate to be approved by the Commons, and assume that the majority of opposition amendments won\u2019t make it into the final version of the Bill.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis means that we are incredibly close to this legislation becoming a reality and the beginning of the implementation period. Agents and their landlords must prioritise preparation, education, and internal reforms to ensure they can embrace the changes with minimal disruption.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
