Tenant Fees Act 2019
Summary
This Act limits the fees that landlords and letting agents can charge tenants in England and Wales. It bans most upfront charges (except rent, deposits, and a few specific fees) and caps what can be charged for things like holding deposits, making renting more affordable and transparent for tenants.
A vote to support means
- —Supporting this Act means backing rules that stop letting agents and landlords from charging tenants lots of hidden fees when renting a property. It helps renters save money and makes it clearer what costs they'll actually have to pay upfront.
A vote to oppose means
- —Some people worry the Act makes it harder for landlords and agents to run their businesses, as they can't charge certain fees to cover their costs. They argue it might reduce the number of rental properties available or push costs onto tenants in other ways.
