Prime Minister Hosts Number 10 Reception for Rental Campaigners

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has hosted a reception at Number 10 Downing Street for staff and leaders of the activist group Generation Rent, as well as other campaigners involved with the Renters Rights Act. The event was reported by Landlord Today.

According to the report, the reception brought together individuals and groups who have been active in advocating for renters' rights. Generation Rent's chief executive, Ben Twomey, spoke at the event about the significance of the Renters Rights Act, highlighting changes in the rental sector over the past forty years and the importance of renters being able to establish roots in their communities without fear of eviction without reason.

The reception at Number 10 signals engagement between the government and campaigners focused on rental sector reforms. Letting agents and inventory clerks may wish to note the ongoing attention being given to the Renters Rights Act and the involvement of key stakeholders in discussions at the highest level of government.
