Renters (Reform) Bill – in a Public Bill Committee at 2:45 pm on 28 November 2023.
“In section 6(6) of the Local Government Finance Act 1992, in the definition of ‘material interest’—
(a) for ‘or a’ substitute ‘, a’;
(b) after ‘more’ insert ‘or a tenancy that is or was previously an assured tenancy within the meaning of the Housing Act 1988’.”—
This new clause makes tenants under an assured tenancy continue to be liable for council tax until the end of the tenancy even if they vacate the property and leave it unoccupied before the end of their tenancy. The new clause is expected to be inserted before clause 20.
A parliamentary bill is divided into sections called clauses.
Printed in the margin next to each clause is a brief explanatory `side-note' giving details of what the effect of the clause will be.
During the committee stage of a bill, MPs examine these clauses in detail and may introduce new clauses of their own or table amendments to the existing clauses.
When a bill becomes an Act of Parliament, clauses become known as sections.
