The King's speech this week confirmed the government's plan to introduce a Renters' Rights Bill, including an end to "no-fault" evictions (Section 21). While this news has landlords across the country considering its impact, it's important to remember there are still solutions available to address serious issues like rent arrears.

Landlord Associations Advocate for Balance

The National Residential Landlords Association (NRLA) is concerned that the reforms could worsen the rental market squeeze. Their policy director, Chris Norris, emphasizes the need for a "fair, workable" system that protects both responsible landlords and tenants.

Focus on Speedy Recovery of Rent Arrears

A major concern for landlords is the time it takes to recoup serious rent arrears, even with eviction as an option. This can put a significant financial strain on landlords and force them to make difficult decisions.
