Renters’ Rights Act – Just a coverup?
The Renters’ Rights Act, what a joke. Who is this in favour of? Not the renters, that’s for sure.
I had a 3-year tenancy which still had 12 months to go, so of course I felt safe. However, the introduction of the Renters’ Rights Act has totally destroyed my security. Now, my landlord has been scared off by this and issued a section 8 eviction notice, as he has decided to sell, which he would not have done had it not been for this bill.
Now I have to find somewhere else to rent, unfortunately, as this is a shrinking market, it has made it almost impossible to find anywhere within a 50-mile radius of my current location.
The pressure and stress this has placed on me is not in my favour and has probably been the issue for tens of thousands of tenants.
Just another FAT CAT act only for the big players, Black Rock, etc.
