Simon discusses the pressing issues facing landlords with expert Paul Shamplina, founder of Landlord Action and commercial officer for Hamilton Fraser. With a wealth of experience in landlord issues and a background in law, Paul shares insights into the recently proposed Renters' Rights Bill, which aims to reshape the private rental sector.

They delve into the implications of abolishing Section 21 notices, the challenges posed by rising interest rates, and the importance of landlord education. Paul emphasises the need for landlords to adapt to changing regulations while maintaining good relationships with tenants. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The Renter's Rights Bill is a significant legislative change in the private rental sector, aiming to improve tenant rights while also raising concerns among landlords about the potential impact on their ability to manage properties effectively.
• Despite challenges such as rising interest rates and regulatory changes, landlords are encouraged to remain adaptable and flexible in their approach to property management to navigate the evolving landscape.
• There is a strong emphasis on the need for landlord education to ensure compliance with new regulations and to improve the overall standard of rental properties, which can benefit both landlords and tenants.
• The current rental market is characterised by high demand and low supply, leading to increased rents. Landlords are advised to maintain good relationships with tenants to minimize turnover and avoid the costs associated with vacant properties.

BEST MOMENTS

"We were fed up with lawyers charging too much money. So we were the original company that did fixed fees in a three-step process because we basically were disruptors."

"The landlord is a business, it's long term. We have a housing shortage. We have a social housing shortage."

"If you keep prodding the bear, eventually it bites back. The bear biting back is a landlord selling a property. Who loses out? The tenant."

"I think landlord education should be mandatory in some sort, even if it's just an online course."
