LONDON'S PROPERTY MANAGEMENT EXPERTS
Don’t take risks that can damage your business. We stay on top of the current property legislation and help you when it changes. We are not legal professionals, but we can make you aware of how to stay compliant.
LETTINGS REGULATIONS
Landlords must ensure the tenants they’re providing housing for, are living in humane circumstances, have the right to live in the UK and gather any licensing required to let properties.
RIGHT TO RENT
Based on the 2014 Immigration Act, before an adult is provided tenancy, they need to go through a Right to Rent check and the landlord is obliged to go through the process thoroughly.
TENANCY DEPOSIT SCHEMES
Landlords must utilise a government-approved tenancy deposit scheme (TDP) for assured shorthold tenancies.
TENANT FEES BAN
From 1st of June 2019, the Tenant Fees Act assures, renting costs become legally transparent without any additional fees towards the tenant.
HUMAN HABITATION ACT
Landlords must ensure their properties are free of hazards and the law is designed to empower tenants to take legal action if their property is found to breach the guidelines.
