PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Private Rented Housing: Fees and Charges (23 November 2016)

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what actions were agreed during meetings he had in the last six months with representatives from the Association of Residential Letting Agents relating to fees for private sector tenants.

Asked by:
Dr Andrew Murrison (Conservative)

In the last six months, I have met jointly with the managing directors of the Association of Residential Letting Agents (ARLA) and the National Association of Estate Agents (NAEA). This was an initial briefing where the two organisations outlined their views on a range of private sector housing issues, but no actions were agreed.

I also opened the first meeting of the Affordability and Security Working Group, set up by the Department for Communities and Local Government, and attended the initial part of the meeting, at which ARLA was one of the organisations present.
