Renter’s Rights Act - funding announced to support new protections for private renters
Hertsmere Borough Council has secured £60,000 of government funding to help support new protections for private renters coming into force from 1 May.
The funding will be used to provide clear information and advice so that residents and landlords understand what the changes mean.
The new law will bring in a number of changes across the private rented sector. These include ending ‘no-fault’ evictions, updating tenancy arrangements and introducing new rules on rent increases.
A council spokesperson said:
“These changes are a big step forward for renters. Our focus is on making sure people understand their rights and know where to go for help. We want residents to feel confident about their rights, and for landlords to be clear about their responsibilities.”
