answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/05/2019 answer text <p>This Government is committed to tackling unfair practices in the leasehold market. We have committed to banning new leasehold houses and restricting ground rents to a peppercorn and launched a technical consultation on the details of these proposals which closed on 26 November. We will publish the Government response in due course and bring forward primary legislation as soon as Parliamentary time allows.</p><p>We are also working with the Law Commission to make it faster, fairer and cheaper for existing leaseholders to extend their lease or buy the freehold. The Law Commission have also consulted on making Right to Manage legislation so that leaseholders can more easily take control of running their buildings. The Government will consider next steps when the Law Commission reports later this year</p><p>In addition, we have also set up a Working Group, chaired by Lord Best, to look at how property agents can be improved, including a single, mandatory Code of Practice for managing agents and whether any fees should be capped or banned. We expect to receive the Working Group's recommendations this summer and we will respond with our plans later this year.</p><p>We recently announced a new government-backed industry pledge to make sure that leaseholders whose leases contain onerous terms such as doubling ground rents within 20 years, get the support they need. The new pledge announced on 28 March has been signed by more than forty leading property developers and freeholders.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency South Derbyshire answering member printed Mrs Heather Wheeler question first answered 08/05/2019 15:21:37 answering member 4053 label Biography information for Mrs Heather Wheeler

uin	249232
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/05/2019 answer text <p>Tenants are protected from illegal eviction through the Protection from Eviction Act 1977, the Housing Act 1988, and the retaliatory eviction provisions in the Deregulation Act 2015. Under the Eviction Act 1977, local authorities have the power to prosecute landlords in the criminal courts who break the law.</p><p>We want to go further, and we recently announced that we will abolish ‘no-fault’ evictions by repealing section 21 of the Housing Act 1988. By ending ‘no fault’ evictions, landlords will always have to provide a reason for ending a tenancy. This more secure tenancy framework will give tenants greater confidence that they can complain about problems with their home without the fear of eviction.</p> answering member constituency South Derbyshire answering member printed Mrs Heather Wheeler question first answered 08/05/2019 12:45:03 answering member 4053 label Biography information for Mrs Heather Wheeler
