Landlords may sell up. Tenants could pay the price
This may be designed to protect tenants, but could it end up
reducing the number of homes available to rent?
If landlords leave the market, rental supply falls. If
rental supply falls, rents rise. That is the uncomfortable possibility behind the Renters’ Rights Act.
In part three, Liz Barclay and Keith Giddons look at the wider market impact: rent tribunals, rent-in-advance restrictions, overseas tenants, students, buy-to-let confidence and whether good landlords may decide the risk is no longer worth it.
