Hello, Re: the ‘empty dwelling management order’, which is a fancy name for councils ……… for your property!

There seems to be very limited information on the details of this but it seems the new 6 month limit comes in on the 5th November.

My questions about this:

1. Does the 6 month vacant period apply after 5th November only or does it also apply to vacant periods before the 5th too?

2 Do LLs have a say on tenant referencing and backgrounds or is it councils only – it could be ‘anyone’ going in?

3 Will councils act as guarantors for rents and damage, errr?

Thank you,

R
