uin	234244
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/03/2019 answer text <p>Tenants in the private rented sector are protected from retaliatory eviction through the Deregulation Act 2015. This prevents landlords from carrying out a Section 21 eviction for 6 months if the local authority has served either an improvement notice, or a notice of emergency remedial action, which has not been addressed.</p><p>The government is committed to protecting the rights of tenants and giving them more security. We recently consulted on ways to overcome the barriers to landlords offering longer, more secure tenancies in the private rented sector. The consultation sought views on the effectiveness of the existing protections in the Deregulation Act.</p><p>We are considering responses to the consultation and will be bringing forward proposals that make the system work better for both tenants and landlords.</p> answering member constituency South Derbyshire answering member printed Mrs Heather Wheeler question first answered 22/03/2019 14:43:26 answering member 4053 label Biography information for Mrs Heather Wheeler

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/03/2019 answer text <p>The Government does not collect this data and has made no estimate of the cost. There is no single method for the valuation of enfranchisement of leasehold houses or flats and the Government is aware of unfair practices, which have led to leaseholders paying substantial sums on the premium and costs associated with enfranchising.</p><p>This is why the Government has asked the Law Commission to review the enfranchisement process to make it simpler, easier, quicker and more cost effective. Its consultation, which included proposals for a unified valuation methodology, closed on 7 January 2019. The Law Commission will publish its final report later this year.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South Derbyshire answering member printed Mrs Heather Wheeler question first answered 22/03/2019 14:44:08 answering member 4053 label Biography information for Mrs Heather Wheeler
