This affects you. Here's why it matters now
The Renters' Rights Act is bringing the most significant legislative changes to impact the lettings landscape in decades - let's break down exactly what this means for you.
New rules are bringing more risk
Section 21 “no-fault” evictions will soon be gone, and Section 13 rent increases will be challenged, meaning that regaining possession will take longer.
Eviction periods are taking longer & are more costly
Without an easy way to evict tenants, court delays will become longer and more complex, and legal costs will increase.
More landlord and financial pressure
Rent in advance is banned, and renewals are disappearing. Landlords need more protection, and you need to replace lost renewal income.
