An updated How to Rent Guide is set to be released tomorrow, according to Propertymark, which has pressed the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities for information over recent months.
The How to Rent Guide is the checklist for renting in England and must be issued by both letting agents and landlords to new tenants or those renewing. It is vital that agents issue the correct and current version of the How to Rent guide as a failure to do so before the tenants move in can invalidate a Section 21 notice used to regain possession.
Propertymark has long held the belief that the How to Rent Guide should be reviewed and republished by the UK government annually to ensure the sector knows when an updated version will be released.
