More than two in five landlords are not aware of the proposed Renters\u2019 Reform Bill, a new study<\/strong>1<\/sup><\/strong> has claimed, despite the impact it will have on their portfolios. Should landlords be worried?<\/strong> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

What could change?<\/strong> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

The proposed legislation, which is set to be voted on before May 2023, includes many significant elements. If passed in full, the act will: <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
    \n
  • Scrap section 21 \u2018no fault\u2019 evictions <\/li>\n<\/div><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n
    \n
      \n
    • Create a register of landlords <\/li>\n<\/div><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n
      \n
        \n
      • Introduce a private rented ombudsman to help enforce renters\u2019 rights <\/li>\n<\/div><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n
        \n
          \n
        • Make it illegal for landlords and agents to refuse to rent properties to people who receive benefits <\/li>\n<\/div><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n
          \n
            \n
          • Give local authorities more power to enforce and protect renters\u2019 rights. <\/li>\n<\/div><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n
            \n

            What do landlords think?<\/strong> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

            \n

            The survey found that 47.55% of landlords are \u2018Strongly Concerned\u2019 or \u2018Concerned\u2019 about not being able to refuse to rent properties to people who receive benefits. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

            \n

            Similarly, landlords are worried about changes to section 21 evictions (45.45%), private rented ombudsman (43.86%), property registration (42.65%) and the right to request a pet in their house (41.45%). <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

            \n

            Increased pressure to remain compliant will add to the pressures placed on landlords and could lead to some selling up, the study suggests. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
