Episode notes

Mark Fitzgerald explores the Renter's Right Bill and essential strategies for property investors to protect their investments amid changing legislation.

• The Renter's Right Bill represents the biggest shake-up of the private rental sector in decades, expected to be implemented around October 2023
• Fixed-term tenancy agreements will be eliminated, with all contracts becoming periodic allowing tenants to give notice from day one
• Section 21 "no-fault" evictions will be banned immediately when the bill passes
• Court eviction processes require meticulous documentation and evidence to secure possession orders
• Anti-social behavior cases will become more challenging without Section 21 notices as a backup option
• Rent guarantee insurance provides valuable protection covering legal costs and lost rent during eviction processes
• Joint tenancies require clear communication about liability when one tenant wants to leave
• The current rental market shows higher rents but approximately 25% less tenant movement compared to previous years
• Landlords should review rents, update documentation systems, and consider professional management to navigate new regulations
• Specialist property education and support is available through the Education to Action platform at educationtoaction.com
