Government Announces Major Legal Recruitment for Renters Rights Act
The government has revealed that at least 1,000 new judges and tribunal members will be required to handle the increased demand resulting from the Renters Rights Act.
In a letter to the National Residential Landlords Association (NRLA), Sarah Sackman, the minister for the courts and legal services, acknowledged ongoing concerns about the speed of possession case processing. Sackman stated that these concerns relate to providing both landlords and tenants with confidence in the justice system.
This announcement highlights the scale of legal preparations underway as the Renters Rights Act comes into effect. The government’s commitment to expanding the judiciary aims to address anticipated pressures on the courts and tribunals system.
Letting agents and inventory clerks should be aware of these developments, as changes in the legal process for possession cases may impact the timelines and procedures for managing rental properties.
