Iris Ferber KC and Natalie Foster discuss the brand new provisions in Chapter 3 of the Renters’ Rights Bill, dealing with discriminatory practices against tenants with children and benefits claimants. What do the new provisions mean?  How do they relate to the existing discrimination provisions that already apply to landlords and agents in the Equality Act 2010?  How is a “benefits claimant” defined? What sort of conduct is going to be prohibited? And who is going to enforce these new rights?  Tune in, to answer all these questions and more.
