The Tenant Fee Ban Bill has received Royal Assent and will become law from June 1st 2019. The Bill has been much debated and discussed.

As a landlord, there are many details to manage to ensure your investment is running as it should and generating the expected returns, while also providing your tenants with a habitable, safe and secure home. One of the last things on many landlords’ mind are energy suppliers and where everything is running well, changing that supplier is often a job they can’t face or don’t consider to be necessary.

A Section 21 notice is the most common way for landlords to regain possession of their property – or, phrased another way, to evict their tenants.
