Well, its crunch time for letting agents. You have (if you are a letting agent) just four months to work out how to deal with your lost tenant fee income.
As the tenant fees bill has now passed through Parliament and will be coming into force on 1 June. It will be interesting to see how it works out.
Don’t forget that my Landlord Law service is essentially a ‘disruptive’ service and will save both landlords and agents a lot of money.
But what happened on the blog last week? There were two interesting blog clinic posts – both for tenants.
Tuesday
Can this landlord charge these penalty fees?
This is the first blog Blog Clinic post – asked by someone on behalf of a tenant.
Wednesday

I catch up with Suzy Hershman of My Deposits
Thursday

This was the second blog clinic post – via thy Fast Track. Where a landlord appears to be ‘trying it on’.
