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. However, all four of these
are subject to additional restrictions as part of the new legislation, and
landlords and agents will need to be mindful of these changes. Other fees, such
as those relating to inventories, admin charges and gardening services-are
banned. Read more on the RLA website.
