Renters’ Rights Act FAQs
Are landlords better off selling before the Renters’ Rights Act comes in?
No. With good rental incomes and the best choice of tenants, now is a great time to be a landlord
Now Section 21 is going, will landlords be able to reclaim their properties?
Yes. With new grounds for possession, landlords can easily reclaim properties within specified timeframes.
Does the Renters’ Rights Act mean landlords lose control over who to let to?
No. If a property is unsuitable for children, it will be advertised accordingly, making working with an experienced agent even more crucial. When you work with us, we’ll find the right tenants for your property.
Can tenants challenge poor living conditions under the Renters' Rights Act?
Yes. This ensures landlords receive clear guidelines on maintenance, helping to protect property standards and maintain positive tenant relationships.
Will the Renters' Rights Act change the rules on tenancy agreements?
Yes. Periodic tenancies will be mandatory. However, these can give landlords greater flexibility, making it easier to manage properties and adjust to market conditions as needed. It can also help reduce void periods with no need to relet.
Does the Renters' Rights Act make it harder to evict tenants?
No. The act introduces clear grounds for possession, making it easier for landlords to evict tenants where justified, ensuring fair and transparent processes.
Will I get caught out with compliance issues, incurring fines and rent repayment orders?
By staying informed and working with us, you’ll be able to navigate compliance requirements under the Renters’ Rights Act, avoiding any fines or penalties.
Will landlords be able to get the property back when they want it?
Yes. Landlords will still be able to reclaim their property under specific grounds, so you can regain possession when needed, with clear timeframes and processes in place.
Do landlords have to accept a tenant’s request to keep a pet in the property?
Landlords can advertise properties as “no pets,” and any pet requests from tenants can be reasonably declined if a superior lease prohibits pets. Additionally, tenants can be required to take out pet insurance, offering extra protection for your property.
