A workmen near the scene speaking to The Argus said of the event: “Hearing that a forklift truck has fallen off a pier is definitely not something I expected to hear today.”
Tenant fees to be illegal in June
Tenancy fees are set to become a thing of the past from 1 June 2019 due to the Government’s Tenant Fees Act (2019).
The Act, which aims to ban letting fees paid by tenants in the private sector, intends to reduce the costs that tenants face at the outset and throughout their tenancy.
Specifically, tenants will be able to see what a property will cost them without any additional hidden costs, such as administrative fees or fees to perform a credit check.
This Act now means such fees will be paid by the landlord, with the Government hoping the fees charged will reflect the real economic value of the services provided, and to incentivise letting agents to compete for the landlords’ business.
