Home Truths – Discrimination in the Renters’ Rights Bill

Iris Ferber KC and Natalie Foster discuss the brand new provisions in Chapter 3 of the Renters’ Rights Bill, dealing with discriminatory practices against tenants with children and benefits claimants.

• What do the new provisions mean?
• How do they relate to the existing discrimination provisions that already apply to landlords and agents in the Equality Act 2010?
• How is a “benefits claimant” defined?
• What sort of conduct is going to be prohibited?
• And who is going to enforce these new rights?
