VIRTUAL EVENT

The Renters’ Rights Bill is in its final stages and will soon receive royal assent. It will introduce many important and headline reforms, not least the ending of fixed-term tenancies in the private rented sector, including private registered providers of social housing (PRPs), and the abolition of the section 21 notice requiring possession.

These will have an obvious impact on PRPs, as will the amendments to Schedule 2 of the Housing Act 1988 (i.e. a landlord’s grounds for possession). This webinar focuses particularly on this latter question and will not only explain the said changes to the ground but will also discuss the impact on a PRPs’ operation. For example, what is the future for starter tenancies?

Leading the discussion will be Dambu Tenner, Head of Legal at the Abri Group, and Andy Lane, a housing and public law barrister at Cornerstone Barristers.

This session will include a Q&A for attendee questions.
