The Bill will be published today and will likely go before Parliament after Prime Minister's Questions has concluded.

Along with the banning of of section 21 "no fault' repossession notices the Bill will reveal details of the proposed national digital property portal for use by landlords, tenants and local authorities. We should also get to see how this portal and its proposed use will integrate with existing and future selective licensing schemes as well as with mandatory licensing and additional licensing.

The Bill will also see the details of the proposed new private rented sector property Ombudsman office which will be set up to help resolve PRS property disputes between landlords and tenants in the hope that the need to go to court is obviated.

The National Residential Landlords Association calls the Bill "the biggest shake-up of the private rented sector in several decades." The organisation's Chief Executive, Ben Beadle, expressed landlords' concerns about aspects of the proposed legislation but said "We will continue to work with the Government, MPs and Peers to ensure the Bill is workable and fair to both responsible landlords and tenants."
