question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment the Government has made of the potential cost to landlords of the introduction of a cap of four week's rent on deposits.
tabling member constituency	Wentworth and Dearne
tabling member printed	John Healey
uin	140987
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/05/2018 answer text <p>The impact of capping tenancy deposits was considered in the Impact Assessment for the Tenant Fees Bill, which is available at <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/tenant-fees-bill-impact-assessment" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/tenant-fees-bill-impact-assessment</a>.</p><p>Evidence from the English Housing Survey (2014/15) suggests that a cap of four weeks’ or one months’ rent would result in approximately 38 per cent of deposits being reduced. Landlords and agents raised concerns that a cap of four weeks’ rent may result in a behavioural change, encouraging tenants to forgo their final month’s rent payment and leave landlords with less flexibility to accept riskier tenants such as those with pets. It may result in an increased cost to landlords when their claim for damages or unpaid rent at the end of the tenancy is not fully covered by the deposit taken. Whilst it is difficult to assess these impacts, we rejected a cap of four weeks' or one months’ rent on that basis and have proposed to cap deposits at six weeks’ rent.</p><p>Analysis suggests that a cap of six weeks’ rent will result in around 14 per cent of deposits being reduced, which is estimated to result in an annual loss to landlords of £1.3 million. This loss would, on average, start four years after the introduction of a deposit cap once tenancies that benefited from it end.</p><p>The Regulatory Policy Committee (RPC) have verified the Impact Assessment and given a green rating. The RPC’s report is available here <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/tenant-fees-bill-rpc-opinion" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/tenant-fees-bill-rpc-opinion</a></p><p> </p> answering member constituency South Derbyshire answering member printed Mrs Heather Wheeler question first answered 14/05/2018 16:35:42 answering member 4053 label Biography information for Mrs Heather Wheeler
