Landlords urged to respond to government inquiry into lettings

A quick reminder that the Government is conducting an inquiry into the private rented sector and this is the chance for individual landlords to express their opinions.

In particular, the inquiry will be looking at the possibility of compulsory regulation for both agents and landlords, and into imposing rent controls.

It will also be looking at letting agents’ fees and the quality of accommodation provided by landlords in the sector.

Submissions of up to 3,000 words are invited by the deadline date of January 17.

Although this seems some way off, with the Christmas and New Year break, it will be here soon enough.
