On 11 September 2024, the Labour<\/a> Government<\/a> published the long-anticipated Proyecto de ley de derechos de los inquilinos<\/a>. It is expected that this legislation will<\/a> become an Act before the new year. The Labour Government has been instrumental in proposing and advancing this bill, which aims to enhance tenant protections<\/a> and improve conditions<\/a> in the private<\/a> rented sector. The Bill has gone through numerous stages, with both tenant and landlord<\/a> groups making substantial representations on its contents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hay varios elementos clave en el proyecto de ley con los que los propietarios deben familiarizarse ahora<\/em><\/strong> to prepare for its impact. One of the significant changes includes the introduction of a new tenancy system aimed at improving renter security<\/a> and stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Introducci\u00f3n al proyecto de ley<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Renters\u2019 Rights Bill is aimed at transforming the private rented sector in England<\/a>. One of the key provisions of the bill is the abolition of Secci\u00f3n 21<\/a> \u201cno-fault\u201d evictions<\/a>, which have long been a source of concern for tenants who can be evicted without reason, whilst trying to balance the concerns of landlords who may require possession of thier propiedad<\/a> on grounds which currently are not available under the Housing<\/a> Act 1988. The bill also introduces a new system of periodic tenancies, replacing fixed-term assured shorthold tenancies (ASTs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fin de la Secci\u00f3n 21<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ya es oficial que Secci\u00f3n 21<\/a> \u2018Se est\u00e1n eliminando progresivamente los desahucios \u2019sin culpa\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El proyecto de ley pretende conseguirlo suprimiendo los arrendamientos de duraci\u00f3n determinada (AST) y sustituy\u00e9ndolos por arrendamientos de duraci\u00f3n determinada peri\u00f3dicos, con una duraci\u00f3n m\u00e1xima de un mes. Este cambio significativo significa que los propietarios ya no podr\u00e1n recuperar la posesi\u00f3n utilizando la Secci\u00f3n 21.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At a future date, which will be specified in legislation, all ASTs in England\u2014whether statutory<\/a>, periodic, or fixed-term\u2014will convert into Periodic Assured Tenancies, unless Section 21 proceedings are already in progress. This date is likely to come soon after the Bill receives Royal Assent, in line with Labour\u2019s election pledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nuevos motivos de posesi\u00f3n en virtud del art\u00edculo 8<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

En nuestros art\u00edculos anteriores, analizamos algunos de los nuevos motivos que se propon\u00eda a\u00f1adir a Secci\u00f3n 8<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Al igual que en la iteraci\u00f3n anterior de este proyecto de ley (el proyecto de ley de reforma de los inquilinos), habr\u00e1 nuevos motivos de posesi\u00f3n que abarcar\u00e1n:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. El arrendador que desea vender la propiedad; y<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. El propietario, o un familiar, quiere vivir en la vivienda.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Neither of these grounds can be used within the first year of the tenancy, and the tenant\u2019s time under the previous AST will count towards this period. Additionally, landlords will be required to provide four months\u2019 notice. If the landlord seeks possession to sell, there will be a 12-month restriction preventing the property from being re-let or marketed to let after serving<\/a> notice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Si un propietario vuelve a alquilar o comercializar la vivienda antes de que finalice este periodo, podr\u00eda enfrentarse a una multa de hasta 7.000 libras impuesta por la autoridad local.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The previously proposed Ground 8A, relating to rent arrears<\/a>, has been scrapped<\/a>. However, Ground 8 (mandatory possession for rent arrears<\/a>) remains, with changes to the minimum arrears period\u2014from two months to three months\u2014and an extended notice period of four weeks, up from two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Documentos prescritos<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Landlords who have acquired properties with historic<\/a> tenancies where original owners failed to comply with Section 21 requirements<\/a>, such as serving gas safety certificates and EPCs, can breathe a small sigh of relief. Under Section 8, it will not be necessary to serve these documents<\/a> at the outset of the tenancy in order to seek possession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    No obstante, los propietarios deben garantizar el cumplimiento de los requisitos legales para facilitar estos documentos, ya que no hacerlo podr\u00eda acarrear problemas importantes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Es importante se\u00f1alar que no se puede dictar ninguna orden de posesi\u00f3n (excepto por motivos de comportamiento antisocial) en virtud de este proyecto de ley si no se han cumplido los requisitos de protecci\u00f3n de dep\u00f3sitos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u00d3rdenes de devoluci\u00f3n del alquiler<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The Renters\u2019 Rights Bill also introduces changes to Rent Repayment Orders (RROs). Currently, responsibility for breaches<\/a> of HMO (House in Multiple Occupation) requirements falls on the party managing\/in contorl of the property. For landlords who have entered into rent-to-rent schemes, this has historically meant that the intermediate landlord was liable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    En virtud de la nueva Ley de Derechos de los Inquilinos, los arrendadores superiores ser\u00e1n responsables de las \u00f3rdenes de devoluci\u00f3n del alquiler. Por lo tanto, los propietarios deben actuar con cautela a la hora de suscribir acuerdos de alquiler con opci\u00f3n a compra y asegurarse de que se lleva a cabo la diligencia debida. Aunque el alquiler garantizado y la reducci\u00f3n de la intervenci\u00f3n administrativa pueden resultar atractivos, estos acuerdos podr\u00edan dar lugar a costes m\u00e1s elevados debido a las \u00f3rdenes de devoluci\u00f3n del alquiler, lo que superar\u00eda con creces cualquier ahorro potencial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    As under the current law, tenants can apply for a rent repayment order if there has been a breach<\/a> of a HMO licence, if the property should have had a HMO (mandatory or adicional<\/a>) licence but did not, and if the property should have had a selective licence which depends on the local authority in which the property is situated. Landlords should always keep up to date with any changes in the area of thier properties to ensure they have the necessary licences in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Adem\u00e1s, el periodo cubierto por las RRO aumentar\u00e1 de 12 a 24 meses, y los inquilinos tendr\u00e1n dos a\u00f1os para solicitar una orden. Esto significa que un inquilino podr\u00eda solicitar una RRO por incumplimiento y, si se le declara responsable, el propietario podr\u00eda tener que devolver al inquilino 24 meses de alquiler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    El proyecto de ley tambi\u00e9n introduce nuevos delitos que podr\u00edan dar lugar a una orden de devoluci\u00f3n del alquiler, entre ellos:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
