tabling member constituency	Birmingham, Edgbaston

uin	29300
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/03/2020 answer text <p>The Department is in close communication with representatives of private landlords and letting agents. On 18 March, we announced a radical package of measures to protect renters and landlords affected by coronavirus. Emergency legislation will be taken forward as an urgent priority so that landlords will not be able to start proceedings to evict tenants for at least a three-month period. As a result of these measures, no renters in private or social accommodation needs to be concerned about the threat of eviction. As such, the Government does not believe a ‘rent holiday’ is necessary at this stage. Further details of this announcement are at <a href="https://gbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2Fgovernment%2Fnews%2Fcomplete-ban-on-evictions-and-additional-protection-for-renters&amp;data=02%7C01%7CParliamentary%40communities.gov.uk%7Ce5454a9b875e4e575b0608d7cc2ceade%7Cbf3468109c7d43dea87224a2ef3995a8%7C0%7C0%7C637202365592221734&amp;sdata=S3q9FDwqSzQ7XWsp7NIGbdO4WiLt08DREIANOVLqR2c%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/news/complete-ban-on-evictions-and-additional-protection-for-renters</a>.</p> answering member constituency Tamworth answering member printed Christopher Pincher question first answered 19/03/2020 18:32:39 answering member 4075 label Biography information for Christopher Pincher previous answer version 13004 answering member constituency Tamworth answering member printed Christopher Pincher answering member 4075 label Biography information for Christopher Pincher
