Julian meets with Minister to discuss Renters (Reform) Bill
March 20, 2024
Alongside Andy Simpson of York Residential Lettings Association, Julian met with Jacob Young MP to discuss the Renters (Reform) Bill and its impact on the student rental sector.
One of the major changes of the Renters (Reform) Bill is the end of fixed term tenancies. While this was a big request for renters in the wider sector, it created some uncertainly in the student sector where incoming students need to know last year’s tenants will vacate on time for the upcoming academic year. This is a big issue in York where ten per cent of residents are students.
Julian believes the meeting was constructive and the Minister promised to review the Bill before it returns to Parliament.
