The heat is on for the small minority of rogue landlords
as Housing Minister Kris Hopkins launched a new on-the-move guide to give
private rented sector tenants the need to know rental rights at their
fingertips. Mr Hopkins said that encouraging a new generation of well-informed
tenants with easy access to useful and understandable information would help
root out the small minority of rogues and raise the game of any landlords who
don’t know what is expected of them. The launch comes as the government
confirmed plans to require all letting agents to publish a full tariff of their
fees - both on their websites and prominently in their offices. Anyone who does
not comply with these new rules will face a fine – a much stricter penalty than
currently exists. Read more on the GovUK website.
