Energy and Climate Change secretary Chris Huhne
has today announced plans to introduce regulations to ensure that all
landlords would face minimum energy efficiency standards under the Green
Deal Plan.
From April 2016 landlords will not be able to refuse reasonable requests from tenants or local authorities acting on behalf of tenants, to improve their property;
From April 2018 the government will make it unlawful to rent out a house or business premise which has less than an "E" energy efficiency rating, ensuring at least 682,000 properties will have to be improved.
The Green Deal is the coalitions national plan of home improvements to make house and businesses cheaper to run through better energy efficiency, From next year people will be able to access finance to pay for the upfront cost of work which will be paid back through savins on lower fuel bills.
