Rightmove has asked for a “conversation” with the
Ministry of Housing about ‘No DSS’ lettings listings. The portal is concerned
that while the ministry has called for an end to all ‘No DSS’ advertisements,
the Competition and Markets Authority guidance is that all ‘material
information’ should be communicated in listings. ‘Material information’
includes having to disclose any restrictions on the type of tenant, such as
housing benefit claimants. Zoopla has said it will be banning ‘No DSS’ adverts,
and amending its property software so that the option cannot be selected. Rightmove has now written to its letting agent members
saying that they can still explain that there are restrictions on certain
tenants, but asking them to review their listings. Read more on the Property Industry Eye website.
