	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/06/2020 answer text <p>Emergency legislation is now in place so that landlords will not be able to start proceedings to evict their tenants for at least a three-month period. The courts have also suspended housing possession proceedings. As a result of these measures, no tenant in private or social accommodation needs to be concerned about the threat of eviction during this time.</p><p>We have also been clear in guidance that there is a need for landlords to offer support and understanding to tenants – and any guarantor – who may see their income fluctuate. This could include reaching a temporary agreement not to seek possession action for a period of time and instead, pause payments or accept a lower level of rent, or agree a plan to pay off arrears at a later date.</p><p>The Government has also put in place significant financial support measures to help renters continue to pay their living costs, including rent. This includes support for businesses to pay staff salaries, strengthening the welfare safety-net with a £7 billion boost to Universal Credit, and increasing the Local Housing Allowance rates so that they are set at the 30th percentile of market rents in each area.</p><p>Any decision to alter these emergency measures will be informed by Public Health guidance, alongside consideration of the needs of landlords and tenants.</p> answering member constituency Tamworth answering member printed Christopher Pincher question first answered 02/06/2020 14:14:26 answering member 4075 label Biography information for Christopher Pincher

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/05/2020 answer text <p>Gas safety inspections save lives and the Health &amp; Safety Executive has made clear that extending the period of gas safety inspections at this time could put tenants at risk of serious illness or fatalities from gas explosions or carbon monoxide poisoning.</p><p>Landlords should make every effort to abide by statutory gas safety obligations. However, we recognise that the current restrictions may be making it harder to carry out these checks. There are provisions in the regulations for landlords to account for situations in which they cannot carry out inspections, however they must demonstrate they have taken all reasonable steps to comply with the law. Recognising the concern among landlords, residents and inspectors, on 7 April 2020, the Health &amp; Safety Executive published further guidance setting out detailed advice for a range of scenarios. This can be found here: <a href="https://www.gassaferegister.co.uk/help-and-advice/covid-19-advice-and-guidance/landlords/" target="_blank">https://www.gassaferegister.co.uk/help-and-advice/covid-19-advice-and-guidance/landlords/</a></p><p>Our guidance is clear that no work should be carried out in any household which is isolating or where an individual is being shielded, unless the work is to remedy a direct risk to the safety of the household. Where entry is required for emergency repairs landlords should take every possible step to minimise contact with residents and follow government guidance on tradespeople working in people homes, which may be found at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/guidance-to-employers-and-businesses-about-covid-19/guidance-for-employers-and-businesses-on-coronavirus-covid-19#social-distancing-in-the-workplace---principles" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/guidance-to-employers-and-businesses-about-covid-19/guidance-for-employers-and-businesses-on-coronavirus-covid-19#social-distancing-in-the-workplace---principles</a></p> answering member constituency Tamworth answering member printed Christopher Pincher question first answered 04/05/2020 15:07:28 answering member 4075 label Biography information for Christopher Pincher
