How to get ready for Renters' Rights Bill

This video is full of straightforward, practical tips for landlords on how to get ready for the Renters' Rights Bill, from lawyer turned landlord, Suzanne Smith. I take a risk-based approach that helps you put the changes in the Renters' Rights Bill in perspective and understand what you'll need to do to get ready? But without going overboard. It's Part 5 in the free training course, Renters' Rights Bill Explained. I break it down into three categories: 🔹 Big new things that will change the way we operate 🔹 Measures that don’t fundamentally change what we already do, as they add to what’s already there 🔹 Additional compliance we’ll have to do when we are told. We can have these in the back of our mind, but which we shouldn’t waste energy on worrying about atm. And also, how landlords can reduce the risks that the Renters’ Rights Act brings, together with what they shouldn’t do, and what they can do now to get ready. ➡️ You can read the blog post based on this video here: https://theindependentlandlord.com/re...
