Renters’ Rights Bill

Lord de Clifford moved amendment 53A, in clause 11, page 19, line 28, at end to insert—“16D Pet damage deposit(1) It is an implied term of every assured tenancy to which section 16A applies that if, at the time of consenting to the tenant keeping a pet, the landlord informs the tenant in writing that the payment of an additional pet damage deposit by the tenant is a condition of the consent, then the tenant must comply with that condition.(2) The additional pet damage deposit under subsection (1)—(a) can be used to make good pet damage,(b) must be of equivalent value to three weeks of rent,(c) cannot be subject to the limits for deposits in tenancy agreements, and(d) is subject to the rules governing deposits in tenancy agreements, for purposes of monies handled.”The House divided:

The party breakdowns are our own analysis of the official voting records (recorded votes only; they do not describe the formal whip). How we work this out.

Peers attend divisions ad hoc, so there is no did-not-vote list. Tellers are counted in the Content and Not Content totals, unlike in the Commons.

Tellers: Lord de Clifford (Content), Lord Trees (Content), Lord Kennedy of Southwark (Not Content), Baroness Wheeler (Not Content).
