If you wish to protest against changes to Section 21 then please sign the Petition at www.netrent.co.uk - just click on the sponsor's link on the left hand side of this page.
We believe that every landlord and letting agent should join NetRent.co.uk and register the strongest possible protest to prevent the Government changing the law.
