The Viking Chats: Julie Ford on the Renters’ Rights Act and the Future of Lettings

The latest episode of The Viking Chats welcomes Julie Ford, founder of the Lettings Advice Service, for an in-depth discussion about the changing world of lettings.

Julie and the host explore how the Renters’ Rights Act will transform the way letting agents operate, from the shift to periodic tenancies to the need for new fee structures and compliance frameworks. They also unpack the growing influence of AI in empowering tenants and what that means for agents on the front line.

Julie brings a unique perspective, shaped by her work helping landlords and tenants resolve rent arrears through grants and support schemes. Her approach champions empathy and problem-solving over confrontation, reminding agents that understanding and communication remain at the heart of good property management.

For those navigating the new legislative landscape, Julie’s insights provide clarity, realism, and reassurance.
