Legislative Change
The role of the letting agent is very involved and at times guidance is required on matters that relate to changes in legislation.
As the Renters’ Rights Bill works its way through Parliament, letting agents need to be proactive in guiding landlords through the transition. This document outlines practical steps to ensure compliance with the new regulations and helps letting agents prepare landlords for the upcoming changes.
Service of Notice
The Section 21 and 8 Notices are key documents for letting agents and landlords. The Section 21 is required to obtain vacant possession and the Section 8 Notice is required should the landlord have Grounds to rely upon.
If these notices are served incorrectly it will cause delays and unnecessary additional expense for the landlord.
Other Notices landlords also navigate:-
S47 Notice, S48 Notice, S13(2) Notice, S3 Notice
Deposit Disputes
The security deposit forms an integral part of the tenancy. Once the tenancy has ended and a check out has been carried out, the landlord / letting agent must ensure that any deductions to be made must be dealt with in line with Section 213 of the Housing Act 2004 and the Localism Act 2011. Dealing with the deposit can be a lengthy process therefore it is extremely important that the set time frames are adhered to and that any deductions made are fair and reasonable.
