Landlord and Tenant Law - Impacts & Changes of the Proposed Renters’ Rights Bill – Part 2
Legal experts Iris Ferber KC, Michael Grant, and James Carpenter are in conversation with Nick Coffer, further exploring the upcoming changes in the rental sector under the new Renter's Rights Bill.
Key topics include the introduction of a redress scheme for resolving disputes without court involvement, a new landlord database to track violations, and criminal penalties for non-compliance. The experts also cover changes to rent increases, which will be capped at once a year with a two-month notice period, and tenants’ rights to challenge excessive hikes in rent.
The episode further explores the implications for landlords, accidental landlords, and tenants. Landlords will face increased scrutiny, fines, and additional compliance measures, while tenants are better protected from unfair practices. Accidental landlords, such as those inheriting property, will also potentially be held accountable under the new regulations. The experts warn that the complexity of these changes may lead to fewer people renting out properties, potentially worsening the housing crisis.
