The Liberal Democrats in Parliament are pushing forward a ‘Renters Right Bill’. supported by tennants lobby groups such as Generation Rent and the Make Renting Fair Campaign.
We’re proposing to:
– Ban letting fees for renters
– Give renters access to an open register of rogue landlords
– Bring in compulsory electrical safety checks in rented homes
– Prevent rogue landlords from obtaining an HMO licence
Renters are hit with high costs every time they move. It is time to bring an end to rip-off letting fees which are already banned in Scotland and which allow letting agents to unfairly charge both the landlord and the tenant.
But we need as much evidence as we can get to help make the case for the bill – and that’s where you come in!
Tell us how much you’ve paid in fees and share your story with us, so together we can make a difference.
