Written Question
Private Rented Housing: Energy
Wednesday 4th February 2026

Asked by: Clive Betts (Labour - Sheffield South East)

Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps his Department is taking to help protect private renters from rent increases after landlords invest to improve the energy efficiency of homes in line with the new energy efficiency standards.

Answered by Martin McCluskey - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero)

The government is standing up for renters through new minimum energy efficiency standards in the private rented sector, and proposed standard for the social rented sector, which will lift around 650,000 households out of fuel poverty.

Landlords should provide clear communications about any changes, and government will provide guidance for landlords and tenants so that tenants know what to expect. There is also support available for landlords, including financing options.

The Renters’ Rights Act 2025 delivers stronger protections for tenants, including the right to appeal above‑market rents, the removal of Section 21 ‘no‑fault’ evictions, and a simplified tenancy structure. These measures increase security for renters and support them to challenge poor practice, and unfair rent rises without risking eviction.

Written Question

Asked by: Clive Betts (Labour - Sheffield South East)

Question to the Department for Transport:

Answered by Keir Mather - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)

The Department for Transport has indicated that it will not be possible to answer this question within the usual time period. An answer is being prepared and will be provided as soon as it is available.
