UK Property in news
9 out of 10 tenants still don’t know about a new law which protects them from revenge evictions – here are key takeaways.
1st October 2015 onwards, the law will apply to renters starting or renewing assured shorthold tenancies.
1st October 2018 – It will protect all renters on assured shorthold tenancies including those who signed their tenancies years before.
So if you started your assured shorthold tenancy before 1st of October 2015 you are not protected by this law until 1st of October 2018.
To be protected both tenant and council needs to take action. If you’re trying to tackle the conditions issue with your landlord on your own, then you’re probably not protected.
