Thank you for signing up for exclusive access to our podcast with The National Residential Landlords Association!

Following on from Ryan Heaven’s Renters’ Rights Special, Heidi Shackell, CEO of The Lettings Hub, is joined by Ben Beadle and James Kent from the NRLA to break down the key issues surrounding the Renters’ Rights Bill and what it means for landlords, letting agents, and tenants.

They discuss the abolition of Section 21 and how this could lead to court delays and higher costs for landlords trying to regain possession of their properties. With the end of fixed-term tenancies, they explore how this will shift what landlords look for in potential tenants and the long-term impact on tenancy agreements.

Another key focus is the ban on Rent in Advance, highlighting how this change could disadvantage certain tenants, particularly those who rely on upfront payments to secure a home in a competitive market.

Ben and James also share insights into the NRLA’s ongoing work to support landlords, their advocacy efforts, and their predictions on the evolving rental landscape as the Bill progresses.
