In November 2018, the Communities Secretary James Brokenshire announced a new consultation on the possibility of a new Housing Court.

The specialist court would provide a single path of redress for both landlords and tenants, helping to increase the speed and effectiveness of justice in the event of property disputes. The idea is that both parties would have increased security in the knowledge of there being somewhere to seek justice.

The introduction of the court would, the government proposes, reduce levels of confusion and other issues which can act as a deterrent to those often vulnerable people who are involved in a housing dispute, e.g. being evicted at short notice, being stuck in sub-standard accommodation, and so on.

As part of action to try rebalancing the tenant-landlord relationship, other proposals include the reduction of multiple hearings in different courts, ensuring quick resolution of cases, as well as new guidance to assist both parties in navigating the legal system. By making it easier for responsible landlords to regain possession of their tenancy if required, it is hoped that this will provide them with the confidence to offer longer and more secure tenancies.
