A new 'Tenant Charter' has just been launched by the Department for Communities and Local Government to give tenants a better deal, drive out rogue landlords and force letting and property management agents to join a compulsory redress scheme.
If you want to find out about your obligations as a landlord or a tenant, we'll have a team of experts ready with free advice.
How do you negotiate a fair rent or rent increase?
What rights are given by a tenancy agreement and how do you end one?
Where should deposits be secured?
If you use a letting agent will there be a fee ? Does the agent or the landlord take responsibility for the deposit and repairs?
Perhaps you're thinking about letting a property and are concerned about the legal requirements?
Joining presenter Ruth Alexander to answer your questions will be:
Sian Evans, Chair, Law Society Housing Law Committee & Head of Property Litigation at Weightmans.
