On the 10th December 2020, the government issued a new version of the
How to Rent Guide which reflects the situation with the ongoing Corona
Virus pandemic.
The previous ‘How to Rent Guide’ published on 7th August 2019 is now out of date and should no longer be used.
As
a reminder a How to Rent Guide must be provided when a new tenancy or
replacement tenancy is agreed. Should the Guide be updated, landlords
should provide a new copy of the updated guide at the outset of any
subsequent tenancy.
As a consequence, failure to issue the How to Rent Guide as detailed will mean a valid Section 21 notice cannot be served.
Please
don’t hesitate to contact our Lettings team should you wish to seek
clarification or further advice on this and any other lettings matter.
