Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, whether his Department plans to provide additional support to landlords following the ban on Section 21 evictions.

The Government recognises the vital role that good landlords play in providing homes for millions of people across the country. The white paper, 'A fairer private rented sector', sets out the government's plans to deliver a fairer deal for renters by abolishing section 21, while supporting the majority of good landlords operating in the sector. This includes introducing comprehensive, fair and efficient grounds to ensure landlords have confidence they can regain possession when it is reasonable.

When court action is needed for landlords to gain possession of their property, the courts should provide fair and efficient access to justice. We are working with the Ministry of Justice, the Judiciary and HM Courts and Tribunal Service to introduce improvements to make the possession process much more efficient for landlords.
