A recent survey revealed that 5 in 6 landlords admit they aren’t fully prepared for the upcoming Renters’ Rights Bill, but you don't have to be one of them.

With these new regulations set to change the lettings landscape, staying compliant is more important than ever to avoid hefty fines and legal issues. At DB Roberts, we’re here to guide landlords through every step, ensuring your properties and processes are fully up to date.

The Renters’ Rights Bill introduces several key changes that landlords need to be aware of. From tenancy agreements to property standards and tenant rights, the rules are evolving, and being caught unprepared can lead to significant penalties.

Is Your Letting Agent Doing Everything They Should?

When it comes to letting your property, it’s important your agent is adding real value and keeping you protected. Here are some key questions to consider:

1. Does your agent help manage rent reviews under Section 13 notices to make sure your income stays on track?

2. Does your agent offer a rent protection service to safeguard you against missed payments?

3. Does your agent reduce risk through thorough tenant referencing and screening?

4. Is your agent prepared for periodic tenancies and the changes they bring?

5. Is your agent qualified to understand and navigate the new tenancy terms introduced by the Renters’ Rights Bill?

6. Are you or your agent ready for heavier compliance requirements and the penalties that come with getting it wrong?

Making sure your letting agent covers these areas can give you confidence and peace of mind while managing your investment.
