The Tenant Fees Act 2019 came into effect on 1^st June 2019 but only applied to tenancies and letting agency agreements granted on or after 1^st June 2019.

From 1^st June 2020, this transitional period has expired, meaning the Tenant Fees Act now applies to ALL Assured Shorthold Tenancies and most residential licences.

The Tenant Fees Act bans most letting fees and caps tenancy deposits paid by tenants in the private rented sector in England.
