answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/05/2019 answer text <p>The Government expects certificates of compliance to be issued within a reasonable period of time. Legislation is already in place specifying the governance of ownership certificates and their use in support of planning applications. Applicants are legally required to notify the owners of a site when they submit their planning application, so that they have the opportunity to comment. An ownership certificate confirming that other owners have been appropriately notified must be signed when submitting a planning application. It is an offence to issue a false ownership certificate knowingly or recklessly under section 65(6) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 20/05/2019 14:37:28 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/02/2019 answer text <p>Landlords and letting agents are free to ask for rent payments upfront if they wish, but very few ask for 12 months' rent upfront.</p><p>The Government is determined to ensure that tenants’ rent money held by agents is protected. We will require letting agents to obtain membership of a Client Money Protection (CMP) scheme and to repay any client money without delay where it is due to the tenant. We intend this protection to be mandatory from 1 April 2019.</p><p>We are also developing a new regulatory regime for letting agents. The Regulation of Property Agents working group, led by Lord Best, will make recommendations about a joined-up framework to guide, monitor and police the actions of letting agents. The working group will report in July 2019.</p> answering member constituency South Derbyshire answering member printed Mrs Heather Wheeler question first answered 05/02/2019 13:20:25 answering member 4053 label Biography information for Mrs Heather Wheeler
