NRLA Podcast: Latest on the landlord database and budget calls
The regional rollout of the new landlord database, to be introduced under phase two of the Renters' Rights Act, will begin in December this year.
Following the announcement, we look at what you will need to do to comply with the rules, as well as the costs involved and financial penalties for getting things wrong.
Later in the show we look ahead to the Autumn Budget, which will be announced on October 28th, examining the challenges faced by chancellor John Healey and outlining our calls to Government - positive changes that will encourage landlords to stay in the market and continue to invest.
We also talk to our advice team about the calls coming in to the landlord support line this month.
Meet the guests
Ben and Richard are joined by James Wood, our head of compliance and resident expert on all things renters’ rights. He gives us a deep dive into the new database, including what details you will need to provide and who will have access to them.
Elsewhere in the show we talk to Maya Wilson Autzen, senior money writer for The Telegraph, and our chief policy officer Chris Norris about what the budget might hold for landlords, with the NRLA’s Hannah Keyon joining us to talk about your queries on the database, as well issues with new notice periods introduced under the Renters’ Rights Act.
