THE Renter’s Rights Bill is coming into legislation. What can you tell us about it?

The Bill will be the biggest reform for the private rented sector since 1988. So, it’s pretty massive. And it’s an understatement to say it’s been a long time coming.

The private rented sector is fundamentally broken: the contradictions were there very right from the start, [and] as more and more people have relied upon it, housing has become more expensive. But it’s taken until now for there to be a change.
