Landlords Charges

Section 83 of The Consumer Rights Act 2015 refers to the provision of Letting and Managing Agent’s fees, charges and/or penalties and is intended to create full transparency to enable consumers (both landlords and tenants) to ascertain exactly how much they will be required to pay before they enter into any form of contract or agreement.
