‘Levelling Up’ – The impact on the Private Rented Sector

The Levelling Up White Paper represents a long-term plan to transform the UK, within which there are proposals that are centred around the private rented sector.

Senior Associate Priya Sejpal recently recorded a webinar for MBL webinars discussing what is being proposed and how these proposed changes will affect landlords and tenants when it comes to letting properties, conducting eviction and potential litigation issues.

This webinar covered:

• Housing conditions - decent homes standard
• National registration for landlords
• New Property Portal - landlords obligations and performance info
• Redress for tenants - new ombudsman for landlords to join
• Abolition of section 21 notices
• Reform 8 grounds of possession
• Other proposals and possible changes to the Court process
