Richlist Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 Capping agents fees makes perfect sense to me. Far better than banning them and having rents rise. This looks like another example of the Gov' jumping in feet first without giving the matter proper consideration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melboy Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 I have signed but I feel it is going to be a struggle as it is only 4000 plus after a week. Not a good sign I would suggest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fionaf Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 The way the petition is worded makes it sound very unprofessional and poorly thought out, even if the opposite is true. The sentiment is good but it is hard to take seriously a petition that is so badly drafted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a good sign I would suggest. The trouble is I am one signature but have potentially 500 tenants signing the the opposite so it is always going to be a uphill struggle. And now you we have MP's spouting this. http://www.propertyindustryeye.com/mp-demands-assurances-that-letting-agents-will-not-pass-costs-on-to-landlords-after-fees-ban/ So they want agents to swallow all the costs but it is them (mp's) who are making the job more and more labour intensive. It is now a legal requirement to for us to do the right to rent checks but we are expected to pay for doing it. (this is on top of all the previous extra requirements).
