Landlords can use new templates to write to MPs on Renters Reform

New letter templates have been developed for NRLA members who want to write to their MP to highlight issues with the proposed Renters (Reform) Bill. 

The templates have been adapted to highlight the key measures needed to ensure landlords can continue to operate once Bill is implemented, with landlords able to edit the documents to explain how the proposals will impact them and their businesses.

NRLA Chief Executive Ben Beadle said: “The NRLA works tirelessly to represent landlords at the very highest level in Westminster and Cardiff Bay, but individual landlords also have a role to play.

“Making direct contact with your local MP is a powerful lobbying tool, demonstrating to MPs that national issues are having a direct impact on their constituents, bolstering our campaigning and making us more likely to influence Government policy.

“It is critical that we demonstrate the need for change in certain parts of the Bill as it makes its way through Parliament. Our letters focus on some of the measures that must be implemented to sustain investment in the sector and without which the supply crisis in the PRS will inevitably worsen.”

The templates cover NRLA calls on student accommodation, anti-social behaviour, court reform, tax and more, making it even easier to make an impact. 

Letters can be downloaded and submitted directly to MPs by the NRLA’s online tool. To access the new templates click here.
