Understanding Prescribed Requirements – England only

As we know, letting agents and landlords must comply with the relevant legislation. In the sector, we may often come across the term prescribed information, which refers to something that is set by a rule or an order.

In our latest article, we look in detail at prescribed requirements for landlords and letting agents in England. We explain deposit prescribed information and how the landlord – or agent – must comply with the initial requirements of the deposit scheme.

We look at other prescribed legal requirements, including those relating to the health and safety of occupiers and the energy performance of buildings. In short, identifying and understanding prescribed requirements in the letting sector is essential in ensuring we do do not fall foul of them.
