Landlords’ Seminar
Wednesday 22nd October
Thank you to everybody who attended our landlords’ seminar. A highly successful evening, with a sold-out room, we discussed the implications of the final Renters’ Rights Bill which had passed through Parliament hours earlier. Landlords learnt of the changes afoot, took away tips on mitigating risk, tax efficiency and had an insight into future legislative change from ourselves, Kendall & Davies and Tayabali Tomlin. Not only informing and educating landlords, who continue to provide much needed homes, we raised over £500 for North Cotswold Food Bank.
Please find here our footage from the evening and the presentation slides.
The Renters’ Rights Act has now gained Royal Assent, and we have an enactment date of 1st May 2026, for the lion’s share of the Act. This includes adoption of periodic tenancies, section 21 notices abolished, a cap on rent in advance, anti-discrimination measures, a ban on rental bidding, annual rent increases via section 13 notices only, and tenants’ rights to request a pet. Surprisingly, for the Decent Homes Standard and Awaab’s Law, there is no date for enactment, other than a consultation expected in either 2035 or 2037, leaving agents and landlords rather bemused.
