We are constantly learning in the ever changing world of the private rental sector. So many changes have taken place in the last few years with more to come since the Governments levelling up directive was announced. Perhaps the most significant is the Renters Reform Bill & the subsequent publication of the white paper in June 2022 pertaining to the planned abolishment of section 21 notices. Changes are coming for sure, we so not know the exact timelines but we expect it will be at some point in 2023.
