Tenant Fees Act 2019
The 'Tenant Fees Act 2019' is set to come into effect on 1st June 2019. This legislation is specific to England and whilst similar changes are expected to be introduced in Wales, the proposals there are still being debated.
It's worth noting that the new regulations apply across the board, irrespective of how the property is let/managed and therefore effects both landlords and lettings agents.
