To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, with reference to the Fairer Private Rented Sector White Paper, published on 16 June 2022, what steps his Department is taking to review Local Housing Allowance rates; and if he will take steps to provide local authorities with...
The Secretary of State for Work and Pensions reviews Local Housing Allowance (LHA) rates annually. In April 2020 investment in LHA rates was boosted by nearly £1 billion when rates were set at the 30th percentile of market rents, providing 1.5 million claimants with an average £600 more housing support in 2020/21 than they would otherwise have received. Rates have been maintained at their increased 2020 levels so that claimants continue to benefit from the significant increase.
On Thursday 16 June the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities published The Fairer Private Rented Sector White Paper. The announced measures will ensure millions of families will benefit from living in decent, well looked-after homes as part of the biggest shake up of the private rented sector in 30 years. This includes a Property Portal which will provide access to information about privately rented properties and tackle one of the biggest and most time-consuming barriers faced by local councils when enforcing standards - identifying poor quality and non-compliant properties and who owns them.
Selective licensing schemes when used as part of a wider, well planned, coherent initiative, can be an effective tool for local authorities to drive better outcomes for good landlords and tenants. Overall, we think we have the right selective licensing approval process in place to support tenants, landlords, and local authorities.

We are absolutely committed to tackling the worst issues in the private rented sector and delivering a better deal for renters. That is why we announced in the Queen's Speech 2022 that we will be bringing forward a Renters Reform Bill in this session.
In this bill we will abolish section 21 'no fault' evictions under the Housing Act 1988, providing security for tenants in the private rented sector and empowering them to challenge poor practice and unfair rent increases without fear of retaliatory eviction.
We will publish a White Paper shortly that will set out more detail on these measures and our wider reform package.
