"We think landlords should be taxed at the same rate as their tenants who work to pay the rent” - @darlingtom.bsky.social quoted in @thetimes.com yesterday on the budget news.
These tax changes likely won't achieve that - but it's a step in the right direction.

This is not a renters' budget.
With housing benefit still frozen, many low-income families will struggle to afford their rent.
But we welcome the increase to taxes on landlords' income. Those with the broadest shoulders should bear a bigger load.

Since the ban on ‘no fault’ evictions was first promised in 2019, over 100,000 private tenants have had their lives torn up by a Section 21 eviction.
Renters need to know when the ban will actually come into force. It can't come soon enough.

"You see people claiming that this Bill is bringing in rent controls by the back door - it's complete nonsense."
If renters can't challenge them, extreme rent increases will just become the new section 21. The new Renters' Rights Act will give them this right.

Today, the end of no-fault evictions, a new landlord database, and greater rights for tenants to challenge huge rent hikes are enshrined in law.
While we still don't know when these changes will actually come into force, this is a huge milestone for private renters in England.

Many private renters live in damp and mouldy homes - one in five of which don't meet the decent homes standard.

Rents have increased by a fifth in recent years since Local Housing Housing allowance was frozen, up £210 a month!!
The strain of this freeze on private renters is immense; in April around 40% of private renters in receipt of LHA said they didn't have enough to cover rent.
