Renters’ Rights Bill does not protect tenants only council budgets warns expert

Renters' Rights Bill Misconceptions

A landlord compliance expert, Des Taylor, warns that the Renters' Rights Bill is not about protecting tenants, but rather about protecting council budgets.

The Renters' Rights Bill isn't about protecting tenants, it's about protecting council budgets.

According to Taylor, the bill will lead to tougher civil penalties, resulting in increased income for councils, while landlords may face waiting 12 to 16 months to regain possession of their property.

Despite the bill's approval by MPs and its impending Royal Assent, Taylor claims the reality of the bill differs from the Labour government's claims.
