More than 1 million private rental homes are substandard, new analysis reveals

According to shocking new analyzes, almost a quarter of the houses rented in the UK cannot meet basic living standards.

According to the data obtained from the researchers of the independent parliamentary library, more than one million rental houses do not meet the standard of good houses with 21 percent of the private market.

As the temperatures increase in a 33C heat wave on Saturday’s Saturday, England has recorded the hottest day of the year.

Almost one of the five houses (19 percent) in the UK with an increasing number of people forced to rent.

Despite the new restrictions and harsh rules introduced by Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner, the research assigned by the liberal democrats revealed that special tenants are increasingly encountered with accommodation.

Lib DEMS calls for a new insulation installation program to help houses cope with extreme temperature changes, such as heat waves.

The latest data reveals the shocking scope of living standards for tenants throughout the country. According to the housing health and safety rating system, approximately half a million (496,000) specially rented houses are rated with category 1 dangers.

The system is the most serious category and poses a serious and urgent risk for the health and safety of people. In total, more than 10 percent of all the rented accommodation in this country.

The data also emphasizes the reasons why specially rented houses fail to the basic standard. The shocking 389,000 houses were not reasonable thermal comfort, that is, the houses are not preserved at livable temperatures.

298,000 houses were not accepted in the case of a reasonable repair – this can mean something from being structurally to moisture, caries and pest invasions.

88,000 specially rented houses failed at the standard because they did not have suitable modern services and facilities such as a working toilet.

Lib DEMS is calling for a more fair agreement for tenants. This includes a 10 -year Emergency Home Insulation program for low -income people to protect the most vulnerable household peoples and a 10 -year emergency home insulation program.

Energy spokesman Pippa Heylings said: “Everyone deserves to have a safe roof on their heads – but as these figures show, this is far from reality.

“The situation of the rented houses is embarrassing. After years of promotion of conservative houses and implementing new good standards, tenants no longer pay for the houses that do not meet basic security and health standards. This cannot continue.

“The government should participate in an emergency home insulation program and urgently apply new good home standards.”

Independent For comment, the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) contacted.

However, Mrs. Rayner is currently pushing the rights of a new tenant’s rights, which will find very little notification of error -free evacuations and a new private rental sector will introduce Ombudsman.

Furthermore, it aims to implement the standard of good houses, which are currently a criterion for social housing in the special rented sector, to give more safer, better value houses to tenants, to remove the burns of bad quality houses in local communities and to strengthen local authority practices.

A MHCLG spokesman said: “Everyone deserves to live in a safe, safe house and despite the situation we inherit, we take decisive actions to turn it into a reality.

“Therefore, we will consult the Reform Good Houses Standard to improve the quality of housing in social and private rental houses.”
