The government has delayed publication of the latest How To Rent document - it had been expected today.
The How to Rent Guide is the checklist for renting in England and must be issued by both letting agents and landlords to new tenants or those renewing.
It is vital that agents and landlords issue the correct and current version of the How to Rent guide as a failure to do so before the tenants move in can invalidate a Section 21 notice used to regain possession.
No revised publication date has been given by the government.
Originally the Department of Levelling Up, Housing and Communities had told trade bodies that the new edition would be released today.
Nathan Emerson, Propertymark chief executive, comments: “We understand that DLUHC have delayed publishing the latest How to Rent Guide. It’s vital that agents have clarity to ensure they issue the latest version of the document.
“We will continue to work with the UK Government and inform the industry of any further updates.”

Must have thought of a few more traps to flag up to tenants 🙄
What more nonsense can these ****** at the Department of Levelling Down have left to dream up?
😂 and the fun just continues.
Rush, rush, placate, placate...."oh sh1t!..... perhaps we should think things through first"
The slopers ( not levellers ) couldn't join the dots in a primary school, never mind a coherent Housing strategy.
As far as any knows i dont read about renting out my possessions,why would i,its a hobby NOT a business as i was told by the government when i tried to claim any covid grants and tax relief.so how can somebody tell me what to do with my possession ?i chose to not have a 100 inch tele or an i phone 97,ps72,i have neve been to a macky ds or the latest D reg car,never done coke or scratch cards.(i do like ale tho)so ill do what i want , epc,electric cert anyone can issue them,i agree with the gas stuff,i dont do dogs and have never taken a tennant to court of my 10 properties ,in 24yrs i have only had to 'evict' 2 tennants ,i have my own methods ,they left sharpish!if they owe rent they WILL and do pay.when my house in 1998 had 20k equity in it i bought another doer upper and sold it then bought 2 more and sold one more,i did this many times paid all taxes due until i had 10 paid for.All my tennants are happy the way i run my hobby .unlike some local authorities and housing associations who seem to be exempt ! Why
Good old public sector, incompetent as ever
As we should know. Although the MPs get the vote the -Humphrey’s of this world RUN the government. No matter whose in office.
My experience of the civil servants and councils is that they are very competent but their masters, the politicians, want to obfuscate, no one would support them otherwise.
