NRLA Chief Warns PM Burnham on Rental Sector Red Tape
The chief executive of the National Residential Landlords Association (NRLA) has warned new Prime Minister Andy Burnham against introducing additional regulation and costs to the private rental sector. Ben Beadle, NRLA chief executive, made these comments following Burnham's appointment as Prime Minister.
Beadle stated that the private rental sector is already under pressure and cautioned against further burdens. He also noted his previous experience working with Burnham when Burnham was a regional mayor.
According to Beadle, Burnham has a personal and genuine interest in housing and property standards. Beadle also described Burnham as pragmatic and flexible in his approach.
This development is of particular relevance to UK letting agents and inventory clerks, as any changes in regulation or property standards could impact their work in the private rental sector.
