Labour’s Renters’ Rights Act Introduces New PRS Database
Labour’s Renters’ Rights Act has led to the creation of a new Private Rented Sector (PRS) database. The Act, described as a tool for ‘levelling the playing field’ for tenants, requires landlords to register every property and upload compliance documents.
According to Property118, landlords will soon be required to pay for registration on the new system. The Lettings Industry Council (TLIC), an advisory body for the sector, has already commented on the system, though further details were not provided in the source.
This development is relevant for UK letting agents and inventory clerks, as it introduces new compliance requirements for property registration and documentation in the private rented sector.
