We welcome the Renters' Rights Bill's passing. For years, we've called for a better deal for older renters, and it’s good to see parliamentarians taking action.
What the Bill won’t address is the quality and affordability of rented homes. This must change.

Despite the #RentersRightsBill, over-65s are still worried because their Housing Benefit doesn't cover their rent.
