New laws to improve a tenants rights
Those in rented accommodation will shortly be able to take legal action against landlords who do not maintain properties in a fit for purpose condition.
Tenants will be able to bypass local councils and go straight to court, even claiming compensation.
This maybe because a landlord fails to fix or replace broken items such as a boiler, shower, toilet or a window for example. Other reasons might be damp issues, water supply and drainage as well as general lack of repair.
Our removals teams have witnessed some awful properties in Nottingham. Lets hope this creates real change.
