Proposed ban on letting fees unveiled
For four and a half months we’ve been waiting with bated breath for the government’s proposals to ban fees, and today they were unveiled as the government finally launched its consultation.
The policy is no half-measure – tenants will not have to pay fees in connection with their tenancy outside of rent, refundable deposit, holding deposit and extra services they require during the course of the tenancy (e.g. replacing lost keys).
