Renters’ Rights Bill: Government backs NRLA review call
Wins on pet deposits and letting restrictions for landlords were the big talking points following the Renters’ Rights Bill’s Report stage debate this week, both representing big wins for the NRLA. An amendment enabling landlords to take an additional ‘pet deposit’ of three weeks’ rent was accepted, along with one that would reduce the restrictions on landlords reletting homes repossessed to be sold from 12 to six months.
