Landlord Regulation

Author: admin  |  Leave a Comment >>

In its ‘Housing Strategy’ report, the Government has stayed away from any form of landlord regulation or any form of regulation for letting agents. Deeming it to be “unnecessary”, the report stated that it did not wish to create any burdens on landlords by introducing regulation.

The Government’s strategy does, however, aim to take measures to tackle rogue landlords, though the report was unspecific in its intentions.

The lack of regulation has not been welcomed by numerous bodies, such as the Chartered Institute of Housing.

The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors also expressed disappointment in the lack of Government regulation.
