All good stuff, and as much as *landlord defenders* stamp their feet about these policies, these kind of predatory landlording practises are such a drain on our economy. I know I’ve turned down positions in London because I know I’d have to deal with a bunch of scumbag landlords. When productive labour is being restricted due to unproductive rent seeking, that will grind an economy to a halt.
This is the most productive thing Labour has achieved
As somebody has been renting for well over a decade I am glad new protection is coming however I do feel it is far too weighted towards tenants and I can see this backfiring massively by having lots of private landlords sell up and only to be replaced by massive companies who are so much worse and rental prices sky rocket.
Not sure why they went for the 2k days angle. It’s be better to say 5.4794520548 years.
Rent in advance
The Renters’ Rights Bill will end the practice of landlords demanding large amounts of rent in advance from tenants looking to secure a tenancy. This unfair practice can encourage prospective tenants to stretch their finances to the limit, preventing them from moving within, or accessing the sector altogether.
Once enacted, the Renters’ Rights Bill will amend the Tenant Fees Act 2019 to prohibit landlords or letting agents from requiring or accepting any payment of rent in advance of the tenancy being entered into. A landlord will only be able to require up to one month’s rent (or 28 days’ rent for tenancies with rental periods of less than one month) once a tenancy agreement has been signed and before commencement. The Renters’ Rights Bill will also amend the Housing Act 1988 to provide that, once a tenancy starts, a landlord will be unable to enforce any terms in a tenancy agreement that require rent to be paid in advance of the agreed due date.
This measure will protect prospective tenants from large requests for rent in advance that are beyond their means.
How are my wife and i who are moving to uk in February next year supposed to secure a place without jobs yet unless we pay up front which was our plan…
