Legal help, services and support for private residential landlords
The tenant fees bill is now the Tenant Fees Act 2019 and is due to come into force, in England only, on 1 June.
It is an extremely important act and will affect the private rented sector in many ways – some of which may be as yet unknown.
Contrary to what many may think the Tenant Fees Act affects landlords as much as letting agents – as ALL fees to tenants (other than those specifically permitted) are forbidden. Including those charged by landlords.
Here are some of the points made by David in his talk:
We are STILL not fully aware of what the act entails as we are still waiting for the government guidance. However, David will be speaking at the 2019 Landlord Law Conference on 17 May (two weeks before the act is due to come into force) so he will be able to bring us up to date then.
You can see the first ten minutes of David’s talk on YouTube here but only Business Level members can see the full recording which is here.
