Part of the new changes coming in on 1st October includes an obligation for landlords to act within an 'adequate response time'. This useful infographic from ARLA and Fixflo sums it up well* but essentially landlords need only make sure they act quickly in undertaking repair. 'Adequate Response Time' is yet to be established I am sure the first case will have something to say about it. My advice is don't mess about getting upteen quotes before taking action. Then again this is only really relevant if you want to get your tenant out of the property. This is probably the least concerning of all the new rules governing sections 21 notices. More on those to come... Nathan Gadenne BSc (Hons), PGDip Surv. Director * If your having trouble seeing all the information open the infographic a new tab for a larger view.
