Renters will no longer live in 'damp, unsafe and cold homes' under new legislation announced in the Queen's Speech, Michael Gove has declared
In a bid to tackle this, the Bill will extend the Decent Homes Standard to the 4.4 million households privately renting.

"This is all part of our plan to level up communities and improve the life chances of people from all corners of the country." A property portal will be established to help landlords understand their responsibilities and give tenants "performance indication" to hold their landlord to account, DLUHC said.
