Get up to speed with the Renters Rights Bill with our Online Conference
Property118 readers will be aware of the Renters Rights Bill which is currently making its way through Parliament.
This will be the biggest change in landlord and tenant law for over 35 years. It is essential that all landlords and all in the Private Rented Sector are fully briefed on the changes it will bring and what they need to do.
Not only are there many new rules, the penalties for non-compliance have also increased and Local Authorities have been given new investigative powers.
For example, you can be fined up to £7,000 for not providing a tenancy agreement or for purporting to let a property at a fixed term!
In order to help you get a grip on the new legislation, I am organising a major online Conference, the Renters Rights Bill Online Conference 2015. This will be a two-day event on 11 and 12 March with 12 talks from 11 speakers.
On Day 1, you will hear from:
- Justin Bates KC (barrister) who will be introducing the bill and the conference
- Julie Ford who will be explaining how to help tenants clear their rent arrears
- David Smith (solicitor) who will be discussing the new rules for student lets
- David Cox (of Rightmove) who will be talking about the rules for advertising and the anti-discrimination rules
- Sam Madge-Wyld (barrister) who will be outlining and explaining the changes to the eviction rules
- Kate Faulkner, OBE who will be speaking about the new landlords database
On day two, you will hear from:
- Sean Hooker (Ombudsman of the Property Redress Scheme) on redress and mediaiton
- David Smith (solicitor) who will be discussing the decent homes rules and Awaabs law
- Suzanne Smith (solicitor and landlord) who will be discussing the new law from the point of view of landlords
- Jan Hytch (Propertymark) who will be discussing the new law from the point of view of letting agents
- Robin Smith (Solicitor) who will be talking about the new Rent Repayment Order rules, and
- Ben Reeve-Lewis who will be explaining the new enforcement powers given to Local Authorities and the new penalties
Delegates will also find two ‘bonus videos’ from Justin Bates and myself (Tessa Shepperson) on the new bill which can be found on the delegates page and which you can watch now.
The event will carry 11 hours CPD.

Nice line up and would be interested however isn’t it a bit premature? Surly it makes sense to hold this after the final stages and its ready for Royal Assent. There is still time for amendments and no timeline on how this will “phase” into the sector.

Renters Law is PURELY Discouraging Landlord & make life more difficult in every angle; I hope Law Makers THINK about the Landlords Hard Earned (Tax Paid) Money as well and give a Breathing Space to Landlord or Property Market will COLLAPSE Immediately & Immensely. Unemployment will definitely RISE – ITS NOT VIABLE FOR UK ECONOMY at all. UK become Very Weak. Thats the Prediction.
