In our third Real Estate Litigation podcast, Dentons' Bryan Johnston and Thomas Nolan are joined by property silk and head of Chambers at Tanfield Chambers, Philip Rainey KC, where they discuss the government's private rented sector White Paper. This is a radical and revolutionary document that sets out the government's commitment to "robust and comprehensive changes to create a Private Rented Sector that meets the needs of the diverse tenants and landlords who live and work within it".

Topics covered include: Brief overview of the purpose of the PRS White Paper. What is a “Decent Homes Standard”? Should landlords be worried about the ability to regain possession of their rented properties. How do they intend to crack down on unscrupulous landlords, whilst also giving wider protection to tenants?
