Update GOV.UK guidance to clarify where an agent serves it, this is part of their existing management duties, not a separate chargeable service.","additional_details":"The RRA Information Sheet is a free 4-page government PDF landlords must give tenants by 31 May 2026. No tenancy agreement needs to change. Yet some agents charge landlords £100-200+ per tenancy to forward it, sometimes calling it an \"addendum\" when none is required.\r\n \r\nSchedule 6, Para 7(3) creates a duplicate duty: agents must also serve the sheet, even if the landlord already has. We believe this lets agents charge for a task taking minutes, and these costs then reach tenants via higher rents — defeating the Act's aim.","committee_note":"","state":"open","signature_count":28,"created_at":"2026-04-01T09:54:21.518Z","updated_at":"2026-05-04T17:04:50.000Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2026-04-30T09:28:14.942Z","closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-04-01T13:42:10.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":"Vinay Patel","rejection":null,"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[{"acronym":"MHCLG","name":"Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government","url":"https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/ministry-of-housing-communities-local-government"}],"topics":[],"signatures_by_country":[{"name":"United Kingdom","code":"GB","signature_count":28}],"signatures_by_constituency":[{"name":"Chesham and Amersham","ons_code":"E14001162","mp":"Sarah Green MP","signature_count":2},{"name":"Chipping Barnet","ons_code":"E14001169","mp":"Dan Tomlinson MP","signature_count":2},{"name":"Christchurch","ons_code":"E14001171","mp":"Sir Christopher Chope MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"East Wiltshire","ons_code":"E14001217","mp":"Danny Kruger MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Feltham and Heston","ons_code":"E14001236","mp":"Seema Malhotra MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Gillingham and Rainham","ons_code":"E14001246","mp":"Naushabah Khan MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Hitchin","ons_code":"E14001289","mp":"Alistair Strathern MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Kensington and Bayswater","ons_code":"E14001310","mp":"Joe Powell MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Kingswinford and South Staffordshire","ons_code":"E14001316","mp":"Mike Wood MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Luton South and South Bedfordshire","ons_code":"E14001346","mp":"Rachel Hopkins MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Maidenhead","ons_code":"E14001348","mp":"Mr Joshua Reynolds MP","signature_count":3},{"name":"Newton Abbot","ons_code":"E14001381","mp":"Martin Wrigley MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner","ons_code":"E14001454","mp":"David Simmonds MP","signature_count":9},{"name":"Sefton Central","ons_code":"E14001463","mp":"Bill Esterson MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Whitehaven and Workington","ons_code":"E14001583","mp":"Josh MacAlister MP","signature_count":1}],"signatures_by_region":[{"name":"North West","ons_code":"B","signature_count":2},{"name":"West Midlands","ons_code":"F","signature_count":1},{"name":"East of England","ons_code":"G","signature_count":2},{"name":"London","ons_code":"H","signature_count":13},{"name":"South East","ons_code":"J","signature_count":6},{"name":"South West","ons_code":"K","signature_count":3}],"other_parliamentary_business":[]}}}
