Landlords' Concerns Ignored in Parliament
Watching Matthew Pennycook's performance in Parliament as he nodded through the Renters' Rights Bill, two key points stood out: landlords are seemingly the only group that can be maligned without consequence, and they were not adequately consulted during the bill's creation.
The current system for private renting is broken.
This lack of input means landlords are facing legislation that will significantly impact their businesses without their meaningful participation in the decision-making process. The portrayal of landlords throughout the bill's journey has been particularly striking, with the housing minister offering a positive spin on the bill's effects for tenants while acknowledging the current private renting system's flaws.
Key concerns include:
- Landlords being smeared without recourse
- Lack of representation in the legislative process
- Potential upending of landlords' businesses due to new legislation
