People seem to be asking whether there's a UK Housing starter pack, so I have made one up. Do share.

Rumour has it that the Renters' Right Bill will be published next week, and also first reading. Then second reading after conference season and progressing onwards. So, could be done before the end of the year.

Oh dear. This is not good, particularly the apparent lack of licensing, poor conditions for tenants, & apparently a blanket ‘no DSS’ policy, which is unlawful. (The conflict of interest bit doesn’t really make sense, as would be LHA/UC paid by DWP, not HB from council)
