Law to require homes fit for human habitation is ‘huge burden’ and ‘unnecessary’, says landlord Tory MP
Rules ensuring homes are fit for human habitation are ‘unnecessary burden’, politician says Credit: BBC
A Conservative MP thinks a proposed law updating rules for landlords saying they need to make homes ‘fit for human habitation’ is not needed.
Philip Davies, who both rents a home out as a landlord and is a tenant, was not keen on Labour MP Karen Buck’s Homes (Fitness for Human Habitation) Bill proposal.
‘My contention would be … I don’t think this particular bill is necessary to achieve what I would like to see,’ he said at the debate.
‘[It’s] as if [landlords] have nothing else to do but wade through legislation generated by this House.
‘The overwhelming majority of landlords, and I will put myself in this category, want to do the right thing and wouldn’t ever dream of renting out a property that isn’t in a fit state to be rented out and want to comply with every regulation that’s introduced.’

Mrs Buck told MPs the current law requires landlords to fix things that have fallen into disrepair but they’re under no legal obligation to remedy problems such as condensation or mould.
Moving a Private Member’s Bill, the Westminster North MP said around 250,000 tenants currently lived with a ‘category one hazard’ under the law.
