THE QUEENS SPEECH AND HOUSING

Jan 17 | 2020
  The main change will be in England with the banning of Section 21 notices.  Housing Solicitors and Landlords, use the Section 21 process as a means of getting possession quickly, but, many tenants feel (quite rightly) that there is a lack of security.  This is particularly concerning when children have made friends locally, or who attend a local school.  It can also cause tenants to lose their employment, if they work locally and not least have a detrimental effect on vulnerable tenants. Many Landlords will be concerned, so to balance this, the Government will be including additional grounds into the S8 procedure. The other major change will be 'life time deposits'.  This will allow deposits to move form one property to the other, so the tenant will not have to consider a deposit every time the move. Housing (landlord and Tenant law), is complex because it is ever changing.  As Catherine Hartland has always said in her training courses: 'housing law is complex because it is ever changing and it is ever changing because it is a matter of Government policy'.  For this reason, please speak to one of Newbold Solicitors housing team, who will be more than happy to advise you on any housing related issues.
