Renters’ Rights Bill: Attend our exclusive member webinar

Join us for an in-depth and forensic look at the proposed amendments to the Renters’ Rights Bill (RRB) after the latest Committee stage, as the NRLA hosts an exclusive members-only webinar on 15 May.

The Bill  will see the biggest change to the private rented sector in decades and the NRLA is committed to making sure our members know what they are, and how they’ll be affected by them.

Pets and penalties were among the chief talking points as Peers held their fourth Committee stage sitting on Tuesday.

There was broad agreement that tenants should not be unreasonably prevented from keeping pets, and calls were made across the House for clearer guidance on what constitute “reasonable refusal.”

There was also debate on the level of financial penalties for non-compliance. Peers stressed the importance of finding the correct balance by targeting rogue landlords while protecting responsible ones.

At the same time others cautioned that excessive penalties could risk driving landlords out of the sector. 

Peers will be back to debate further amendments in the Lords next Monday and Wednesday.
