A series of template letters have been drafted so that landlords can write to MPs about problems caused by the Renters Reform Bill.

The letters cover a range of problems created by the legislation, which is expected to have its Second Reading in the House of Commons with the next few days.

The templates, prepared by the National Residential Landlords Association, cover the Bill in general, student tenancies, tackling antisocial behaviour, court reform, Section 21 evictions, Local Housing Allowance, housing standards, and the taxation of landlords.

The templates can be edited to explain how the proposals will impact individual landlords and their businesses.

NRLA Chief Executive Ben Beadle says: “The NRLA works tirelessly to represent landlords at the very highest level in Westminster and Cardiff Bay, but individual landlords also have a role to play.

“Making direct contact with your local MP is a powerful lobbying tool, demonstrating to MPs that national issues are having a direct impact on their constituents, bolstering our campaigning and making us more likely to influence Government policy.

“It is critical that we demonstrate the need for change in certain parts of the Bill as it makes its way through Parliament. 

“Our letters focus on some of the measures that must be implemented to sustain investment in the sector and without which the supply crisis in the PRS will inevitably worsen.”

Letters are accessible by members and non-members and can be downloaded and submitted directly to MPs by the NRLA’s online tool. To access the templates click here.

The NRLA is appealing to members to share any responses from MPs with the association.
