The remarks followed her resignation last September and ongoing speculation about a future leadership bid.
Rayner pressed ministers to move at pace to ensure Parliament delivers on reform.
She suggested the Government should go further in the Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act proposals.
Rayner highlighted the need to regulate management agents due to a lack of oversight.
The discussion occurred as the Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act underwent scrutiny.
