About this listen
It’s been confirmed that the long-awaited Renter’s Rights Act will come into force next year on May 1, with the government setting out a staggered timeline for sweeping renters' reforms.
As the biggest shake-up to private renting in a generation, the lobbying organisation Generation Rent described it as a “vital first step in righting the power imbalance between landlords and tenants”. But critics are concerned it will prompt more landlords to sell up.
We’re joined by Matt Hutchinson, Communications Director of flat-sharing site SpareRoom, who shares his perspective on the capital’s housing market, whether landlords will be deterred by the new housing regulations, and what further action the government should take.
