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

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, if he will take steps to prevent landlords in the private rented sector from stipulating that they will not accept tenants in receipt of social security payments.

The White Paper 'A Fairer Private Rented Sector' , published in June 2022, sets out our plan to bring forward legislation banning blanket 'No DSS' practices. The government remains committed to introducing a Renters Reform Bill within this Parliament, and we will do so as soon as parliamentary time allows.
