answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/06/2021 answer text <p>The Ministry of Defence (MOD) does not tolerate extremism of any kind and it is not compatible with the values and standards of our Armed Forces. We continue to be vigilant and are determined to take early action to confront and challenge such behaviours when they occur, including ensuring that referrals are made to the appropriate authorities.</p><p> </p><p>The MOD adheres to the Home Office Prevent programme and guidance on how to identify extremist individuals via Joint Service Publication 345, Applying Prevent within Defence. Prevent is briefed to the key unit command posts and all Service personnel via various courses, including through basic training. More information on Prevent can be found on the Government’s counter-terrorism website: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/prevent-duty-guidance" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/prevent-duty-guidance</a>. <br> <br> Internally, Defence uses the Channel process to deal with Service personnel who have shown signs of extremism.

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what plans he has to restrict the number of months of rent landlords can request upfront; and what assessment he has made of the effect on tenants in the private rental market of landlords being able to charge tenants six months of rent upfront on their accommodation.
tabling member constituency	Slough
tabling member printed	Mr Tanmanjeet Singh Dhesi
uin	14039
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/06/2021 answer text <p>It is for landlords and tenants to agree the amount of rent that should be charged and how much should be paid in advance, according to individual circumstances. We do not expect it to be the norm that landlords ask for multiple months of rent in advance.</p><p>The Government took action through the Tenant Fees Act to prohibit rent from being 'frontloaded' at the outset of a tenancy. This prevents a situation where tenants are charged higher rent in place of letting fees.</p><p>The Act means that a landlord cannot require a tenant to pay a higher amount for one or several months then a lower amount after this.</p><p>We have not assessed the impact of the practice of multiple months of rent being paid upfront, but will continue to monitor this closely.</p> answering member constituency Walsall North answering member printed Eddie Hughes question first answered 17/06/2021 15:29:47 answering member 4635 label Biography information for Eddie Hughes
