Arla calls for rethink in repossession guidelines

The Association of Residential Lettings Agents (ARLA) has also questioned the new repossession proposals for rented property. It has called for the government to be clearer about its intentions to implement the schemes into law ‘at the next opportunity’ saying the timeline is far too vague. It also says that seeking to notify tenants seven weeks before repossession hearings could encourage tenants to break their contracts and seek new landlords too early.
