Following close consultation with the NRLA, the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities (DLUHC) has taken into account several of the organisation’s proposals in the drafting of this legislation.
These include a commitment from the Government that they will focus action on helping landlords to deal with anti-social tenants or tenants refusing to pay rent. Likewise, DLUHC has also taken on board NRLA proposals to improve the speed of court possession hearings through the use of digital platforms. As a result of NRLA campaigning, councils will also be forced to report on the extent to which they are enforcing regulations designed to root our rogue and criminal landlords from the sector.
