Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has scrapped proposed e

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has scrapped proposed energy efficiency targets for rental properties.

The changes to EPC requirements were due to come into force in 2025 and would have required all properties covered by a new tenancy agreement to meet an EPC rating of C or above, with all rental properties due to meet the standard from 2028.

However, in his speech yesterday Sunak said: "Under current plans, some property owners would have been forced to make expensive upgrades in just two years' time.

"That’s just wrong. So those plans will be scrapped and while we will continue to subsidise energy efficiency, we’ll never force any household to do it."

The Bill is expected to include a wide range of reforms including the much-publicised abolition of Section 21 eviction powers for landlords, an apparent strengthening of Section 8 eviction powers, probably a mandatory landlord register and the introduction of a Decent Homes Standard for the private sector akin to that operating for social housing providers now.

The Bill was first mooted in 2019 and the government has had substantial criticism from activist groups for its slowness at introducing it into Parliament.

The details of the Bill will reveal which measures, if any, can be introduced into law at short notice and which may require primary legislation, which takes up to a year to get through Parliament 📃
