answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/07/2018 answer text <p>The ban on letting fees in Scotland was clarified in 2012. The private rented sector in Scotland has continued to grow and in 2016 made up 15 per cent of households compared with 13 per cent in the 2012 Scottish Household Survey. The Scottish Government estimate the number of letting agents currently operating in Scotland is around 1,700. This demonstrates that good and innovative agents will continue to have a market in which to thrive.</p> answering member constituency Richmond (Yorks) answering member printed Rishi Sunak question first answered 23/07/2018 14:30:30 answering member 4483 label Biography information for Rishi Sunak

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/07/2018 answer text <p>It is very difficult to understand the direct impact of the ban on fees on rental levels in Scotland since there are many different economic factors to take into account. Rents have risen on a cumulative basis no faster in Scotland since 2012 than in England and the sector remains healthy. According to ONS data, between 2012 and 2018, rents increased on average by 12 per cent in England compared to 6 per cent in Scotland.</p> answering member constituency Richmond (Yorks) answering member printed Rishi Sunak question first answered 23/07/2018 14:32:01 answering member 4483 label Biography information for Rishi Sunak

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment he has made of how letting agents in England would cover costs currently paid from the fee on tenants in the event that letting agent fees are abolished.

tabling member printed	Dr Matthew Offord
uin	160188
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/07/2018 answer text <p>The Tenant Fees Bill is not about driving letting agents out of business. Letting agents should be reimbursed for the valuable services they provide but this must be by landlords rather than tenants. It is only fair that the party who contracts the service should pay for the service. We do not expect the full level of tenant fees that are charged currently by letting agents to be passed on to landlords. Currently, there is evidence of excessive charging by letting agents, such as double charging of both landlords and tenants, or charging more than the economic value of services provided. Good letting agents, providing services that represent value for money to landlords, will continue to play an important role in the market. This is what the provisions of the Bill will achieve – landlords will choose the agent that provides the quality of service that they are seeking at a price that they are willing to pay. Government has carried out an impact assessment to accompany the Bill, which is available at <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/tenant-fees-bill#impact-assessment" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/tenant-fees-bill#impact-assessment</a></p> answering member constituency Selby and Ainsty answering member printed Nigel Adams question first answered 09/07/2018 15:24:15 answering member 4057 label Biography information for Nigel Adams
