What will be interesting to find out is if the fee, paid to letting Agents when 'selling' a no deposit product, will be illegal after 1st June.

Good to see Santander offering landlords and tenants the flexibility of 3 Year ASTs. Will be interesting to see how many landlords use this option.

I agree with PayProp that rent payments should improve a tenant's credit file - that's why we already provide this free service to all our tenants at RentalStep.co, as well as free referencing and tenancy agreements. If you feel your tenants and your letting agency could benefit from these free services please contact me at mike.georgeson@rentalstep.co

I agree with Asa that the second reading was great and well done Lord John Bird for his continued enthusiasm in this! Anything that encourages tenants to prove they pay their rent on time and help improve their credit file is a great thing. My company, www.rentalstep.co, already allows tenants to add their rent payments to Experian's Rental Exchange scheme which improves their ability to access credit including mortgages.

Wholeheartedly agree with John Bird on this - rent payments should count towards a better credit file. We already provide this service for Landlords and Letting Agents and you can too by registering at www.RentalStep.co

I had a quick look at their website and can't see the fees they currently charge tenants.

Tenants can already have their rent payments included when calculating credit scores through our site https://www.rentalstep.co

Hi, An interesting letter, David, on a subject very close to my heart - Tenant Fees charged by Letting Agents. We at RentalStep provide referencing for free, as well as free Credit Scoring and an increase in Tenants' Credit Rating. These services will soon be available to Agents so negating the need to charge for them :-) Thanks, Mike Founder - RentalStep.co.uk

Hi Julie, We are launching a new online rental platform that brings in a 'Tenant Passport' that shows future landlords the rental history of prospective tenants. This, obviously, won't be any good for homeless people but is there any other way we could provide something like this for the homeless?
