Tenant Fees Ban Now In Force In England

The Tenant Fees Act came into force in England on Saturday 1st June 2019. The Act makes it illegal for landlords and agents to charge certain fees, for new tenancy agreements that are signed on or after 1st June 2019. The fees that landlords can still charge are rent, deposits, holding deposits and charges for defaulting on the contract.

Other fees, such as those relating to inventories, admin charges and gardening services-are banned. Read more on the RLA website.
