Important Insights on the Renters’ Rights Bill – Exclusive Video with Suzanne Smith & Christopher Watkin

With the Renters’ Rights Bill bringing significant changes to the rental market later in 2025, many Bolton landlords are understandably concerned about how it will impact their properties and long-term plans.

That’s why I wanted to share exclusive access to a must-watch discussion featuring Suzanne Smith, a landlord, lawyer, and the creator of The Independent Landlord Blog, as she sits down with well-known property market journalist Christopher Watkin to break down the key changes and what they mean for landlords like you.

In this video, Suzanne and Christopher cover:

✅ How the removal of Section 21 will impact regaining possession of your property
✅ New restrictions around re-letting and selling with vacant possession
✅ The increased power of tenants through Rent Repayment Orders
✅ Rent increase rules – what’s changing and how to adapt
✅ The introduction of a landlord database – what it means for privacy and compliance
✅ The future of student lets and HMO

With these changes, it’s more important than ever to stay informed and work with a letting agent who understands the evolving legislation. This is a rare opportunity to hear from a lawyer (and landlord) who truly understands the legal and practical implications of the Bill.
