Landlords in Greater Manchester Struggle to Keep Up with Changing Property Rules
Landlords in Greater Manchester who are struggling to meet their obligations say they face difficulties keeping up with changes to policy and regulation. Research from the TDS Charitable Foundation will underpin a programme called Better Renting to help landlords understand and comply with their responsibilities.
According to Property118, the challenges facing landlords in Greater Manchester reflect a broader national picture. Nationally, 21% of landlords say they find it difficult to keep up with changing rules, according to the source.
For letting agents and inventory clerks, the findings point to ongoing compliance challenges in the private rented sector. Landlords who struggle to follow changing rules may rely more heavily on their agents and inventory professionals to meet their obligations.
The source does not provide further details on the specific policy or regulatory changes causing difficulties, nor does it outline the full scope of the Better Renting programme. Letting agents and inventory clerks in Greater Manchester and across the UK may wish to monitor the programme's development as it seeks to improve landlord understanding and compliance.
