V for victory for landlords

A little reported piece of news in the past week is something which looks good for landlords, and maybe not so good for tenants.

That is the reporting back of the Residential Tenancies Bill to Parliament. Now this bill is the bible which both sides of the housing market have to obey. The current act is more than two decades old and there has been lots of talk of changes to it in recent years.

I suspect many tenants will have wished Labour had made more haste with this project as they would have ended up with a better outcome than they are now facing.
