Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether she plans to conduct a post-implementation review of The Assured Shorthold Tenancy Notices and Prescribed Requirements (England) Regulations 2015.

The government has considered the wider assured tenancy system in the process of preparing the Renters’ Rights Bill.

The Assured Shorthold Tenancy Notices and Prescribed Requirements (England) Regulations 2015 refer only to assured shorthold tenancies, which will cease to exist after the implementation of the Renters’ Rights Bill.

The regulations will therefore cease to have any effect after implementation of the Bill, so we intend to repeal them by regulation.
