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 includes critical changes such as stronger eviction protections, rent regulation measures, and higher standards for rental property maintenance. Non-compliance with these rules could result in legal fines, reputational damage, and loss of rental income for landlords. This course offers an opportunity for landlords and agents to get ahead of these changes, including the abolition of Section 21, announced by the English and Welsh Governments in April 2019. With Section 21 soon to be abolished, the course will help you understand the alternative notice for ending Assured Shorthold Tenancies with the Section 8 notice, ensuring you remain compliant and prepared to handle your obligations under the new law.
