Renting Ombudsman

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 will have to provide evidence of the cost of repairs and replacement items to their tenants before they can impose charges, under new plans revealed by the Government.
