How This Affects Your Rental Property
Landlords will no longer be able to apply blanket bans against:
- Tenants with children
- Tenants in receipt of benefits
Key Points:
- Applications must be assessed on an individual basis
- Any refusal must be based on objective criteria, such as affordability or referencing
- Discriminatory wording (e.g. blanket restrictions) must not be used in marketing or tenancy agreements
Failure to comply with these rules may result in enforcement action or financial penalties.
For managed tenancies, we will ensure all marketing, referencing, and tenancy documentation remains compliant.
