Guidance Note: Material Information for Letting Agents

This Guidance Note: Material Information for Lettings Agents examines the responsibilities of Lettings Agents to provide "Material Information" in property rental listings. Providing such information is essential for helping prospective tenants make informed choices about renting a property.

These Regulations are designed to protect consumers from misleading practices and ensure they receive all necessary information to make well-informed decisions.
