Green Deal: Private Rented Sector

Under the Green Deal, landlords will be able to make energy efficiency improvements without having to pay for them upfront.   Tenants will repay the cost of the measures through their energy bill savings whilst enjoying a more energy efficient home.

In this way the Green Deal is mutually beneficial to both landlords and tenants. 

 

The Localism Act 2011 and Tenancy Deposit Protection

The law has been clarified following four significant court cases over the rights of a tenant to sue for a breach of the deposit protection legislation or when deposit money has been protected immediately before a court hearing.

The cases were:-

  • Gladehurst Properties Ltd v Hashemi (defence that tenancy had ended)
  • Draycott & Draycott v Hannells Letting Limited (deposit protected late)
  • Tiensia v Vision Enterprises Ltd (t/a Universal Estates) (deposit protected late)
  • Harvey v Bamforth (issued prescribed information late)
