New Rental Ombudsman Scheme Will Not Cover Letting Agents

A new rental ombudsman scheme has been proposed, but letting agents are not included in the current plans. No date for implementing the new service has been revealed.

This development may be relevant for UK letting agents and inventory clerks monitoring regulatory changes in the private rented sector. Further details are expected as the proposal progresses.
