Tories, Landlords Discuss Legal Challenge to Renters' Rights Bill

News summary

Senior figures within the Conservative Party are reportedly collaborating with landlords to obstruct the government's Renters' Rights Bill, which aims to enhance tenant protections, including the abolition of no-fault evictions. A meeting hosted by shadow housing minister Baroness Jane Scott involved discussions on legal challenges under human rights law and strategies to delay the bill through amendments. Critics, including campaign groups and charities, have condemned these efforts as a coordinated attempt to undermine vital reforms that would benefit millions of private renters. Conservative representatives defend their actions, asserting the bill is flawed and would lead to reduced rental availability. Despite previous Conservative support for similar legislation, the party’s current stance reflects a shift away from backing tenant protections. The Renters' Rights Bill is expected to face significant hurdles before it can become law.
