Tenant Fees Act 2019 (England) Comparison Matrix

This Tenant Fees Act 2019 (England) Comparison Matrix provides a clear summary of which payments landlords and lettings agents can legally charge tenants, and which fees are banned under the Tenant Fees Act 2019 ("The Act"). 

The Act has been in force since 1 June 2019 and applies exclusively to England. Its purpose is to eliminate hidden and unfair upfront costs and increase transparency for tenants. 

The Renters' Rights Act and The Tenant Fees Act 2019 

The Renters' Rights Act amended the Tenant Fees Act to include restrictions on upfront rental payments. This updated template reflects the most recent legislative changes. 

Failure to comply with the legislation will result in fine of up to £5,000. A repeat breach within a period of five years becomes a criminal offence, carrying an unlimited fine and a potential banning order. Enforcement authorities may impose a fine of up to £30,000 instead of prosecution. Additionally, failure to repay a holding deposit can result in a fine of up to £5,000.
