Lettings Agent Dismissed After Alleged Renters Rights Act Breach
A lettings agent has reportedly been dismissed following a secret recording. According to Letting Agent Today, the agent allegedly described people on benefits as “dross.”
The conversation was recorded by an activist group and is said to contravene both the Equality Act 2010 and the new Renters Rights Act, which prohibits discrimination against tenants on benefits. The incident highlights ongoing compliance requirements for UK letting agents regarding tenant rights and anti-discrimination laws.
