<p>The Government has begun the process of engaging with the sector to tackle the
problems faced by people renting in the private rented sector. We have seen positive
changes from property sites who have committed to removing adverts with ‘No DSS’ wording
and from lenders who have committed to removing mortgage restrictions that would prevent
landlords from renting to tenants in receipt of housing support. This work is ongoing
and we will continue to bring the sector together to tackle such practices.</p><p>
</p><p>Furthermore, as stated by the Secretary of State on 11 January 2019, the Department
has also committed to increasing the support available to private landlords. An on-line
system for private landlords will be introduced so they can request, where necessary,
that their tenants’ rent is paid directly to them.</p>
