Almost 9 million households in England’s private rented
and leasehold sectors will benefit from stronger protections against rogue
letting and managing agents thanks to new government proposals. With thousands
of renters and leaseholders suffering at the hands of rogue agents every day
from unexpected costs, deliberately vague bills or poor quality repairs, a new
mandatory code of practice is proposed to stop managing and letting agents from
flouting the law. To further professionalise both sectors, letting and managing
agents will be required to obtain a nationally recognised qualification to
practice, with at least 1 person in every organisation required to have a
higher qualification. Read more on the GovUK website.
