Key points from Labour's proposed Renters' Rights Bill:

End to 'no fault evictions';
A 'decent homes' standard for private rentals;
No bar on benefits claimants or families with kids;
Published/fixed prices - no 'bidding wars';
Requirement to promptly fix 'serious hazards';
& to help manage this expansion in regulation, a rented sector ombudsman.

Landlords are already claiming rents will go up (even more) & the parliamentary Landlord lobby will not be quiet!

A battle looms!
