She thanks the hon. Friend for initiating the debate, discussing housing cases involving constituents living in poor conditions and facing rising rents. She supports the idea of a proper ombudsman for private renters and believes that a private renters charter will improve fairness. Welcomes some proposals, particularly the private rented database. Expresses concern about constituents living in poor-quality housing without advocates to take their cases further against landlords, proposing an ombudsman for the sector.

She congratulates the hon. Gentleman on securing the debate, highlighting the high cost of renting in Brighton and the need for more enforcement powers to target rogue landlords. She also calls for closing loopholes that allow discrimination against tenants with children or those reliant on benefits. Additionally, she advocates for rent controls similar to those used internationally.

The hon. Member raised critical points about rent increases contributing to inflation and the need for government action, supporting calls for rent controls based on international comparisons.

The hon. Member agrees that Government support for greater availability of good-quality social housing could help suppress the increase in rents and suggests the Bill and tax regime should pursue bad landlords, support good landlords, and protect tenants.

The hon. Member congratulates his colleague for Liverpool, Walton on securing this debate. He criticises the Government's failure to address housing issues in his constituency, mentioning poor standards and unfair rent increases. He highlights cases of inadequate emergency accommodation and landlords serving section 21 notices to increase rents. Raises concerns about individuals with pets who struggle to secure tenancies and are often housebound or living alone, advocating for strengthened legislation to support these tenants beyond those on benefits or without recourse to public funds. The Minister is asked to address the issue of local authorities losing hundreds of millions of pounds in funding over the past 13 years, particularly highlighting Stockport's financial struggles since 2010. The lack of Conservative Back Benchers in the debate and their apparent disinterest in the private rented sector crisis are questioned.

Expressed disappointment at the misnaming of colleagues, criticized negligent housing policy and highlighted issues like lack of decent homes and unfair evictions. Called for amendments to the Renters (Reform) Bill to prevent unjust evictions and provide support for local authorities. Requests an intervention from the Minister but does not specify the details of her question or concern.

Congratulates the hon. Member for Liverpool, Walton on securing the debate and highlights the soaring rents in Bath, which have risen by more than £200 over three years. Criticises the Government's failure to regulate the private rented sector adequately, citing research that found tenants who complained were two and a half times more likely to receive an eviction notice. Emphasizes the need for robust regulation to prevent no-fault evictions and rogue landlords from exploiting tenants through rent hikes and poor living conditions.
