It’s been confirmed that the next stage of the Renters Rights Bill will not begin for another month.
The committee stage of the Bill will begin in the House of Lords on April 22, following the Easter recess. The committee will sit again two days later on April 24.
The committee stage sees a number of peers examining the Bill line by line, with the opportunity to consider amendments.
Once the committee stage concludes a date is set for what are called the Report Stage and the Third Reading – these are typically held on the same day and in the full chamber, not in committee.
The Bill is expected to become law in the summer.
