Renters Rights Bill

There are only a few months left before the new Renters’ Rights Bill is implemented, and there is a lot that both landlords and tenants need to be aware of. Assured shorthold tenancies are being abolished and replaced with a periodic tenancy. The government has now released the mandatory wording that must be used in new contracts, and in March it will publish a leaflet explaining the changes to existing tenants.

Compliance paperwork has increased, and price increases are now subject to a different process following the introduction of Section 13 and oversight by the Tribunal Board.
