Landlords should be fined for charging fees as these have been made illegal!

[StripeyCover]

but continue, on, regardless!

I saw an advert today for a 2 bedroom flat:

"Referencing and administration for the whole rental period: £200 per person - all inclusive"

This is charging tenancy fees, by any other name!

I thought this was illegal!

Since Landlords and Letting Agents in particular continue to do this, surely there should be some consequences - a heavy fine. Its against the law!

sorry about all the exclamation marks. but this really gets my goat.

They aren't banned yet. The government said they'd ban them as soon as possible. I imagine they're slightly busy with Brexit right now though.

I think only in Scotland so far - would love to be corrected though, I've just paid out a fortune I'd like to have back!

I don't think they are banned in the uk yet I believe all the government said was "it will happen as soon as possible" so that advert is doing nothing illegal

I think that advert is fine as they aren't banned in the England yet so it isn't illegal I'm afraid
