LandlordZONE Newsletter - November 2009
This issue - New Legislation for
Landlords:
Gone are the days, it would seem, when the occasional landlord or even the
professional landlord could let a property on a whim, with the minimum of
paperwork and legal knowledge.
Anyone letting a property today, including the reluctant or travelling
landlord letting his own home, must have a good grasp of the letting laws,
and this requirement is likely to grow as new laws are introduced.
No doubt this will please the letting agents, as more landlords will rely on
their expertise to steer them clear of trouble, and the best agents do a
good job in this.
Whilst it might seem a logical and perhaps desirable next step to bring in
regulation of letting agents, given the trust that landlords and tenants
must place in them, and the monies they hold as bankers, is it a step too
far to require licensing of every landlord and their properties, in the
country?
Today we are faced with several pieces of legislation which could take the
process of letting property to the next level—a situation which may
increasingly discourage particularly occasional landlords from offering
their much needed housing accommodation.
In this issue of the LandlordZONE Newsletter we explore the breadth of the
proposed changes and their likely impact over the coming months.
Just one example is the possibility of landlords being held responsible for
water bills: the cost would inevitably go on rents, but metered water bills
would increase considerably as there’s then no accountability or incentive
for tenants to save water.
