Reply to the comment left by Gently distressed at 24/09/2026 - 11:57We don't yet know what data from the database will be publicly available. Current indications are that it will limited to "key legal requirements". Hopefully that's accurate, and personal...

The details of what data from the landlord database will be publicly available have not yet been released. The NRLA says: "When the public portal is available and tenants can access the database, the Government has indicated they will have...

I guess the point of the article is that tenancy types which are currently excluded from the database could be added in the future, so keep an eye on things.

Reply to the comment left by Jill Church at 22/09/2026 - 13:55As commented above, it currently looks unlikely that information like that will be publicly available. But until the details are announced, this is all speculation.

The 2003 date is the day on which the Regulatory Reform (Assured Periodic Tenancies) (Rent Increases) Order 2003 came into force. The order changed the rules for increasing the rent for tenancies where the rent period is less than a...

Re question 4.4: if I understand correctly, this question is only relevant if the rent period is measured in weeks, to stop a rent increase from drifting so as to be less than 52 weeks after the last one. If...

Re the questions about why we might consider buying or selling: none of them really fit our situation. We're selling because, for us at least, being landlords is no longer worthwhile. We can invest the money for more (long term)...

Is the NRLA still run for a common purpose?

18th November 2024, 2 years ago

The NRLA _does_ have a constitution, in the form of Articles of Association: https://www.nrla.org.uk/about-us/articles-of-association Its purpose is set out in article 2. The paragraph is quite long, but the first of the organisation's aims "is to pursue, promote and protect...

There are many. For example: The Assured Tenancies and Agricultural Occupancies (Forms) (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2019 - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2019/915/ The Assured Tenancies (Amendment)(England) Order 2010 - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2010/908/ The Rent Officers (Additional Functions) (Amendment) Order 1994 - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1994/568/ The Assured Shorthold Tenancy...

In the interests of nitpicking: Carchester said: "The Housing Act 1988 is not what is known as an "enabling Act" and has no provisions within it to make primary or secondary legislation" Acts of Parliament are primary legislation by definition,...

While the Conservatives are the largest party in the Lords, they are well short of a majority (currently 275 out of 784 seats). In any case, while the Lords normally take their time with non-emergency legislation, the Salisbury Convention suggests...

If you mean the Renters (Reform) Bill, then I imagine that Labour will produce something similar. But even with a large majority, it will take time. Even if the Commons rush it through, the Lords won't be in a hurry.

No. No-fault evictions are defined in statute, so can only be removed by statute. So there will be no immediate change.

It will require an Act of Parliament, so it can't be done on day 1 - which, as you say, means that any change can't come into effect until next year. Changes like this normally come with transitional provisions to...

"The consequence of abolishing Section 24"..."George Osbourne and his removal of section 24": er...it was the _creation_ of section 24 that changed the tax rules on mortgage interest. Abolishing it is presumably what most landlords want! (Incidentally, a Google search...

Any changes in the law won't come into force for some time - I would guess 2-3 years after this Bill becomes an Act for new tenancies, longer for existing ones - which gives plenty of time for insurers to...
