Many changes are afoot within the private rented sector, we met with Luke to discuss these changes and raise points for Luke to take forward.
Items on the agenda included;
- Renters Reform Bill (new housing court, abolition of Section 21 and it’s potential consequences and the strengthening of Section 8)
- Rogue Landlord Database (low numbers on this database, increase in listings and access improved for it to be effective)
- Oversupply of purpose built student housing
- Housing Benefit (lifting of the cap)
- Covid-19 and the effect this may have for landlords and tenants
SWLA are proud to be a voice for all of its landlord and agent members. We regularly meet with local MPs and councillors to ensure that good landlords are getting a fair deal. We look forward to meeting Luke again later in the year.
