RENT OUT IN FUTURE? LATEST VIDEO ON NEW LAW

Catch up with ease on the latest law through my December 'Law Watch' video. There's my take on the dilemma facing private landlords. Do they take steps to obtain possession of the dwellings they have rented out before a major part of the Renters' Rights Act 2025 comes into force on 01 May 2026 - or not? And there's my take on 

• changes in referring disputes with a past or present employer to ACAS
• where we are with the class claim by Walter Merricks against Mastercard which could mean money in your pocket
• Fee increases in or pending at Companies House and the Intellectual Property Office and on registering powers of attorney and
• the new obligations of social landlords over dampness and emergencies in dwellings they have let and how they have strengthened the position of complaining tenants.

MORE TIME TO SAVE ON COURT FEES

You haven't dipped into my 'Law Watch' video number 47? Shame on you. I there heralded a series of increases (and some decreases) in court and tribunal fees (and a couple of others) which were intended to take effect on 01 April 2025. The legislation required to give effect to the changes has since been published and will not come into force until 08 April 2025. That means you have extra time to save on the affected fees by rushing to take a step in proceedings which would be caught by the legislation or, in the case of a small number of decreases, going slow.

The legislation is the Court and Tribunal (Miscellaneous Amendments)  Order 2025 (SI 2025/351) which you can find here -
