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

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, pursuant to the Answer of 10 July 2014, Official Report, column 407W, on housing, whether his Department asked the industry to seek the views of tenants in creating a code of practice for the management of residential property and the process of letting.

Yes, my Department asked the industry to seek the views of tenants in creating the code of practice for the letting and management of residential property by liaising with tenant groups. This was something that they were happy to do.
