Activists Urge Fast Rollout of Awaab's Law to Private Rented Sector
Activist groups have backed the Government's extension of Awaab's Law to the private rental sector. Generation Rent wants the measure imposed as soon as possible.
According to Landlord Today, Holly Williamson, chief executive of Generation Rent, said homes are "the foundations of our lives" and that too many renters live in homes harmful to their health, often waiting months for landlords to act on issues.
The report does not set out any further detail on the timing, scope or mechanics of the extension.
For letting agents and inventory clerks, the development signals continued scrutiny of how quickly and effectively property conditions and repair issues are recorded, reported and resolved in the private rented sector. Clear inventories, check-in reports and maintenance trails are likely to remain central.
