Landlord

The Scottish Government has frozen rent and rail fares as part of emergency legislation introduced to help people during the cost of living crisis. Here's what's happening.  

Renters in England can no longer be evicted for no reason under a new bill introduced by the Government this week – though the rules are yet to take effect. The Renters Reform Bill will also see the introduction of an ombudsman for private tenants among other measures.

Landlords and letting agents in England can't charge tenants letting fees on new contracts signed on or after Saturday 1 June. If you're a renter, here are your new rights and what you still need to pay – plus what to do if you're charged an illegal fee.

Renters in England would no longer face evictions at short notice without good reason under new plans outlined by the Government.

Landlords and letting agents in England are set to be banned from charging tenants letting fees from 1 June.
