Government Issues Landlord Responsibilities for Mandatory Database

The Government has issued guidance setting out landlord responsibilities for the mandatory database, Landlord Today reports. The guidance was issued this morning.

For letting agents and inventory clerks, the development signals the next stage in the rollout of the mandatory landlord database, a key element of the wider rental sector reforms. The source report does not set out the specific responsibilities, eligibility criteria, registration deadlines or fees involved, so agents and clerks should refer to the original article and the underlying guidance for the detail.

This brief will be updated as further information becomes available. Letting agents and inventory clerks may wish to monitor official channels for the full guidance and any accompanying implementation timeline.
