Background
The introduction of the Renters' Rights Bill marks a significant change in the private rental sector, focusing on protecting tenants' rights and enforcing stricter landlord responsibilities. The Bill introduces critical changes, including stronger eviction protections, rent regulation measures, and higher standards for rental property maintenance. For landlords, non-compliance with these new rules can result in legal fines, reputational damage, and loss of rental income. This training course will help you understand the Renters' Rights Bill in detail, ensuring you remain compliant and equipped to handle your landlord obligations under the new law.
