answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/11/2014 answer text <p>We have given our backing in principle to my hon. Friend, the Member for Brent Central's (Sarah Teather) Tenancies (Reform) Bill, which seeks to protect tenants from the small minority of rogue landlords who, rather than meet their legal duty to keep their properties at a reasonable standard and remove health and safety hazards, instead evict tenants simply for asking for essential repairs to be made.</p><p> </p><p>But we need to ensure that the Bill does not impose unfair burdens on the whole sector, as the overwhelming majority of landlords are responsible. The Bill should be balanced, such that tenants cannot make vexatious complaints, and that it does not bring in excessive red tape.</p><p> </p><p>The Bill will have its 2nd reading on 28 November, and this will give the House an opportunity to debate its merits.</p> answering member constituency Great Yarmouth answering member printed Brandon Lewis question first answered 27/11/2014 16:57:03 answering member 4009 label Biography information for Sir Brandon Lewis previous answer version 30499 answering member constituency Great Yarmouth answering member printed Brandon Lewis answering member 4009 label Biography information for Sir Brandon Lewis
