What does the government’s white paper on residential tenancy reform mean for the sector?

Some three years after the government first announced it’s intention to abolish section 21 notices under a Renters’ Reform Bill, it has published it’s white paper on reform of the private rental sector.

To help explain the proposals is Eleanor Murray, partner and head of residential disputes at law firm CMS, who sets out the rationale for change, what the government is proposing as part of its “12-point plan of action” and what landlords can be thinking about now in advance of change being implemented.
