Letting Agents Advised to Update Websites for Renters’ Rights Act Compliance

Letting agents have been urged by an industry body to review and update outdated website content in light of the Renters’ Rights Act. The call comes as the first phase of the Act is now in force.

According to Property118, Propertymark has advised letting agents to audit all published consumer information, legal statements, terms and conditions, and guidance hosted on their websites. This is to ensure ongoing compliance with the requirements of the Renters’ Rights Act.

The reminder is particularly relevant for letting agents and inventory clerks responsible for maintaining accurate and up-to-date information online. Ensuring that all website content reflects current legislation is essential for compliance and for providing correct information to tenants and landlords.
