This is the interview that I did with Kate on 3 January 2024.
The full interview is published on our Landlord Law podcast but I am putting out the interview here in sections.
Part 1 is here. Part 2 is here. Part 3 is here. Part 4 is here.
In this part, Tessa and Kate discuss Labour’s plans for the private rented sector and what could happen. In particular for schemes to encourage housebuilding and maybe creating flats from larger buildings. Some of which could be used for social housing.
Kate points out that Labour will need to work with landlords and the private rented sector rather than against them.
