🚨 Big Changes Coming for Landlords and Property Investors! 🚨 The Renters (Reform) Bill is set to shake up the private rented sector in England. These reforms are designed to give tenants more rights and improve housing standards, but they could also have major impacts on landlords like us. Here’s what you need to know: 🔑 Abolition of Section 21 Evictions – 'No fault' evictions are being scrapped, moving to periodic tenancies. 🔑 New Grounds for Possession – Landlords can still reclaim properties for reasons like selling or moving in family. 🔑 Rent Control Measures – Rent increases can only happen once a year, with a two-month notice and no rent review clauses. 🔑 Tenant Rights for Pets – Tenants can request pets, and landlords can’t unreasonably refuse (though pet insurance can be required). 🔑 New Ombudsman & Property Portal – A mandatory ombudsman service and a portal for landlords to stay compliant with legal obligations. 🔑 Decent Homes Standard – Improving housing quality across the private rented sector. 💡 What does this mean for you as a property investor? These changes are aimed at improving the renting experience for tenants, but they will also change the way landlords manage properties. Let’s talk! Do you think these reforms will make things better for tenants or more challenging for landlords?
