Advice Landlord News Landlord News Landlords Questions Renters Reform Bill

Hello, due to the Renters Reform Bill and renting my properties becoming unworkable I am considering my options. I’ve seen lots of councils offering five years leases to landlords on fully managed, guaranteed rent, fully repairing etc.

Does anyone know if this would constitute a ‘business tenancy’? I am concerned about which legislation would govern the lease. I.e. the Landlords and Tenant Act 1954? Or something else?

I was going to get hold of a lease for a solicitor to review.

Thanks,

Nick
