Leone and Amanda attended the Watford Borough Council Town Hall meeting alongside five other industry specialists to present on the Renters’ Rights Act 2025 to a room of 90 landlords.
During the session, all delegates received the new government guidance document that must be provided to all tenants before 31 May to remain compliant. We discussed how the new legislation will impact every stage of the rental process — from advertising and tenant referencing, through to tenancy management and post-tenancy procedures, including the updated Section 8 grounds.
If you are a landlord and would like to discuss the Act in more detail, please contact the team at Harry Charles on 01923 731313.
