Rachel Reeves should know better – she must go. I’ve been a landlord for 26 years, a managing agent for 23, Past President of ARLA Propertymark, and a trainer for the London Landlord Accreditation Scheme for 21. Even if a letting agent is involved, the law is crystal clear. Under the Housing Act 2004, the legal duty sits with the landlord. It’s their responsibility to check if a licence is required, make the application, and pay the fee. An agent can assist — but that doesn’t transfer liability. In the eyes of the law, the buck stops with the landlord. And that applies to everyone — even the Chancellor. #RachelReeves #Landlords #HousingLaw #Accountability #Property thenegotiator.co.uk/news/reg…
