Activists Urge Immediate Extension of Awaab’s Law to Private Sector

Generation Rent has called on the government to impose Awaab’s Law on private landlords within the current year. According to Landlord Today, the government has previously stated that Awaab’s Law would be introduced to the private rental sector as part of the Renters Rights Act, but only after further secondary legislation is passed at a date yet to be confirmed.

This development is relevant for UK letting agents and inventory clerks, as any changes to legal requirements for private landlords could impact property management and compliance processes.
