NRLA says twice the number of landlords are planning to sell up compared to those hoping to expand their portfolios.

The NRLA says both sides need more financial help, but Generation Rent claims 55,000 face losing their homes as possession hearings restart, albeit in a limited way.

Changes to government's Covid legislation give several concessions to agents and landlords looking to evict tenants, but still require a six-month notice period until March next year.

Leading housing lawyer and former RLA policy director David Smith has been announced as legal counsel for the National Residential Landlords Association.

After weeks of lobbying by landlord and tenant organisations the government has decided to give tenants longer to live in properties before possession hearings can be started.

Landlords and agents ARE supporting tenants across the UK and Generation Rent research is wide of the mark, says association.

Rent payments must be maintained where possible say landlords as rent campaigners calls for a payment holiday grow louder.

Three months after its initial launch date, the National Residential Landlords Association has today gone live.
