GOVERNMENT WILL CHANGE THE LAW IN ENGLAND The Government will be introducing a 'Renters Reform Act', soon to be published by the Government as part of their 'levelling up' plan; the reform will allow tenants to have their pets in a rental property without the threat of eviction for breach of their tenancy. If the Landlord objects to a reasonable request, the Tenant and Landlord can attend mediation. Further details will be published by Newbold. In Wales (from December 22), the rules will be different (unsurprisingly for Wales as housing is a devolved area); if a tenant requests a reasonable change to a contract term 'e.g. no pets', the Landlord has one month to object, or there is deemed acceptance. The Landlord will be unable to refuse a reasonable request. If you would like to know more about this, then please watch our vlogs, or ring one of our team for a free 10 minute chat.
