The Renters Rights Bill Information Centre
– this page sets out basic information on the Renters Rights Bill with
links to our content and training. It will be updated over time.
Contact – If you want to contact us can you please use the green button messenger service (explained here) rather than email as I am finding that some emails don’t show and so don’t come to my attention. You can always reach me (Tessa) via the green button.
If you are unsure about anything – ask a question in the Members Forum. It will normally be answered within a few hours. If it is urgent, send a message via the Green Button Messenger service and let me know your forum question is there.
As the law is now significantly different in Wales, to prevent confusion, can all forum questions regarding Wales ONLY go in the special Wales forum area.
