The government has confirmed a tenant fee ban is in the pipeline – but what will happen to the billions of pounds generated for letting agents every year?
From 1 October 2015, big changes were made to section 21 Housing Act 1988 for tenancies in England. Some of these changes apply to all tenancies (including pre October 2015) from October 2018 but not all of them.
From 1 April 2019, all property agents carrying out work in relation to housing in England will be required to be a member of a mandatory client money protection scheme.
