"Millions of renters will have to wait nearly a decade to have a decent home as Labour pushes back its flagship plan to force landlords to improve conditions in rental properties. The government has announced that the decent homes standard requiring landlords in England to provide homes in a reasonable state of repair and be free of damp and mould will not be enforced until 2035, prompting a furious response from MPs, campaigners, and renters."
