Renters’ Rights BillContribution
This new, fairer system includes an end to excessive, up-front costs, huge deposits and advance rents. It will also prevent students from feeling pressured to sign up to an agreement very early in their term, and protect bereaved families by limiting a guarantee liability in the event of the death of a family member or a tenant. The changes, along with the expansion to the decent homes standard, are necessary and part of a significant package of reforms. Behind each one of these issues is a human face and a heartbreaking story.
