answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/10/2014 answer text <p>Seventeen industry bodies, covering the majority of the sector, have already agreed to abide by the code of practice. The code not only explains what is legally required when letting and managing property in the private sector, but also provides a model for best practice. Members of any organisations which have signed up to this code agree to abide by its contents, giving tenants assurance of a good service, driving up standards in the sector. We expect those who have signed up to the code to promote it with their members and customers but this will be supported by my Department for example through a link in the How to Rent Guide, ensuring that it is used as a measure of good practice by the three approved redress schemes and references to the code in regular communication activities.</p> answering member constituency Great Yarmouth answering member printed Brandon Lewis question first answered 13/10/2014 15:16:29 answering member 4009 label Biography information for Sir Brandon Lewis
