The current maximum rent for an AST is £25k per year - the government is proposing to increase this to £100k - none of my rents reach the £25k per year - how many of yours do??  Appreciate this will include HMO's and this is why it's being increased - just to give yet more power to the tenants..

Clottie is correct about London flats/houses. Many are above the £25K annual limit. While it might be possible that they are let to a company most are let to an individual or a family unit. There is no reason they should not have the same residential protection and the landlord can then follow the same process in terms of AST and deposits.
