Government launches Awaab's Law consultation for private rented sector
The government is seeking views on extending Awaab's Law to the private rented sector (PRS), including how the rules should work and when they should come into force. Private renters, landlords, and charities are being invited to share their views to help shape the new requirements.
Awaab's Law is already in force for social housing. The consultation will consider how the rules should be adapted for the PRS and the timing of their implementation.
Letting agents and inventory clerks should be aware that the consultation is now open and that the government is inviting input from the sector. The outcome could lead to new requirements for private landlords and agents.
