Renters' Rights Bill: Protection of Council Budgets Over Tenants
A landlord compliance expert, Des Taylor from Landlord Licensing & Defence, warns that the Renters' Rights Bill is being misrepresented as protecting tenants, when in reality it prioritizes protecting council budgets.
The Renters' Rights Bill isn't about protecting tenants, it's about protecting council budgets.
According to Taylor, the bill's tougher civil penalties will lead to increased income for councils, while landlords may face delays of 12 to 16 months in regaining possession of their properties.
- MPs have approved the final version of the Renters' Rights Bill, which will now proceed to Royal Assent.
- The bill's true intentions are allegedly at odds with the Labour government's claims.
