Change Means Opportunity: The Renters' Rights Bill with Jonathan Rolande

#173

Last week was a huge one for the sector after the new government gave the Renters' Rights Bill its first reading in parliament. 

The bill has massive implications for tenants, landlords, investors and everyone else connected to housing in the UK.

As an investor, you need to make sure you understand all the likely changes.

Change Means Opportunity and opportunity means money. And we all need money to do the things we want to do, right?

This week, we’ve invited Jonathan Rolande, a man who’s made over 700 property purchases and sales in a 30+ year career.

Jonathan has featured in national press, trade journals and landlord blogs.

He's appeared on national TV and radio so he definitely warrants the title property expert.

During the episode we discuss the opportunities that are bound to emerge from the disruption to the satus quo caused by Labour’s rebranding as the party to solve the housing crisis, so make sure you listen to the end!

This episode explains the implications behind the seven headline elements of the Renters' Rights Bill:

1.        End of Section 21, the so-called ‘no fault eviction’

2.        The Abolition of Fixed term tenancies

3.        Market rate rent increases only

4.        No discrimination against tenants with families or on benefits 

5.        The Decent Homes Standard to be extended to the Private Rental Sector

6.        Compulsory membership of a new Ombudsman Scheme

7.        A new landlord database
