Liberal Democrats say:

They will deliver a fair deal for renters, and are committed to tackling housing failures head-on by addressing the fact that many people can’t afford to buy or rent a home of good quality or are living in housing so poor it damages their health. They have pledged in their manifesto greater rights for tenants, higher volumes of housebuilding, and a clampdown on short lets. 

Summary housing related pledges within in their 2024 manifesto:

• The immediate banning no-fault evictions
• Increase building of new homes to 380,000 a year across the UK including 150,000 social homes a year
• Make three-year tenancies the default
• Create a national register of licensed landlords
• Give local authorities new powers to control second homes and short-term lets in their areas
• Cap ground rents to a nominal fee, so that everyone has control over their property
• Allow councils to buy land for housing based on current use value rather than on a hope-value basis
• Reform the Land Compensation Act 1961
• Introduce use-it-or-lose-it planning permission for developers who refuse to build
• Make homes warmer and cheaper to heat with a ten-year emergency upgrade programme
• Ensure that all new homes are zero-carbon
• Remove dangerous cladding from all buildings,
• Ensure that leaseholders do not have to pay a penny towards it
• Help people who cannot afford a deposit to own their own homes by introducing a new Rent to Own model for social housing where rent payments give tenants an increasing stake in the property, owning it outright after 30 years
