![]() ![]() The Prime Minister dismissed Zahawi immediately. Zahawi was sacked by Sunak when the Independent Adviser on Ministers’ Interests identified seven breaches of the Ministerial Code in January this year. “He has promised to look in detail at the proposals within the Bill and take our concerns to Mr Gove.” ![]() “He has so far been the only MP in our patch who responded to not just our letter to Mr Gove regarding the Bill, but also our requests to meet and discuss the proposals which we believe will have a detrimental impact on both landlords and tenants and could result in landlords leaving the sector. He was receptive and responsive and has promised to look into our concerns and raise them with the government. Kyriacou says: “The meeting with Mr Zahawi was extremely positive. The agent outlined other issues facing landlords and tenants including increased taxation for investors, more demand than there are properties available, increased rents and the cost associated with upgrading properties to conform with the EPC requirements. Kyriacou said Zahawi also recognised that the abolition of fixed term tenancies would be a problem for students and student landlords. “It would be disturbing if they left a tenancy under those conditions. Contracts matter and so fixed terms make sense to me. I believe in contract law and one of the best things about investing in the UK is we have the best legal framework in the world. This will make it more difficult in terms of finance and security of tenure. He said: “We all want a fair private rental sector. Zahawi told the agent that the purpose of the Bill was to “deal with rogue landlords” but agreed “at the same time we must listen to legitimate concerns”. ![]()
