Draft Tenant Fees Bill (2017)

If passed as is prospective tenants will not be liable for any payments beyond the deposit and the initial month's rent. In effect; private landlords who undertake the management of their properties will no longer be able to charge additional fees for tenancy checks. You would not be able to insist that the prospective tenants undertake their own check and pass it on to the landlord as this would contravene part of the bill:


Prohibitions applying to landlords

(3) A landlord must not require a relevant person to enter into a contract for services with a third party as a condition of the grant, renewal or continuance of such a tenancy.


The bill also limits holding fees to the equivalent of one weeks rent and security deposits to the equivalent of six weeks rent.
