**Parliament is back.**

Conference season is over and MPs are knuckling down from now until Christmas.

**Renters’ rights are on the agenda this week.**

The government is building on the previous administration’s Renters (Reform) Bill to introduce legislation that gives tenants much stronger powers.

**And Tuesday is an Opposition Day.**

The Tories will have a chance to set the agenda, though their motion hasn’t been announced yet. Politico reports Sunak won’t choose to talk about the Chagos Islands handover to avoid getting drawn into his party’s leadership contest, where it’s been a hot issue.

**Renters’ Rights Bill – 2nd reading**
*Applies to: England, Wales, Scotland (part)*
Scraps ‘no fault’ evictions. Limits rent increases to no more than once per year and requires landlords to give two months’ notice. Bans landlords from renting for more than the advertised asking price. Stops landlords from reasonably refusing tenants from having a pet. Makes it illegal for landlords to discriminate against tenants who receive benefits or are disabled, among other things. Builds on the Renters (Reform) Bill that was introduced by the last government but didn’t make it through Parliament before the general election.
