Plans for new regulation of private landlords are being scrapped, housing minister Grant Shapps said recently.
Mr Shapps told the Commons the private rented sector was already governed by a well-established legal framework and the new Government did not believe further regulation was necessary.
But the Association of Residential Lettings Agents (Arla) said it was “extremely disappointed” by the Government’s decision, saying tenants were not being adequately protected.
Mr Shapps said: “With the vast majority of England’s three million private tenants happy with the service they receive, I am satisfied that the current system strikes the right balance between the rights and responsibilities of tenants and landlords.
