Mayor Sadiq Khan to spend hundreds of thousands helping tenants
Summary
The Mayor of London has announced an additional £400,000 over three years to support implementation of the Renters Rights Act in London. The funding will support tenant advice services and training for council officers to improve enforcement against rogue landlords and poor housing conditions.
Why it matters
This signals stronger local enforcement and tenant support around rental standards, which may increase scrutiny of private rented homes in London. Surveyors involved in inspections, condition reporting or landlord advice may see greater demand for evidence of defects, disrepair and compliance issues.
Key points
- £400,000 additional funding allocated over three years
- Up to two organisations will provide free advice and support to renters
- Council officers will be trained to enforce renters' rights more effectively
- Focus includes damp, unsafe and poorly maintained homes
- Measures are aimed at supporting the Renters Rights Act in London
