The Renters' Rights Bill
This week: the new Renters' Rights bill, new laws to protect workers' rights, and can your ex claim your house? Dr Joelle Grogan and guests discuss the laws affecting your life.
In this new series of the Law Show, Dr Joelle Grogan and guests look at the legislation that affects your life.
One of the flagship pieces of legislation for the Labour Government is the Renters' Rights Bill - scrapping no-fault evictions, and imposing new obligations and penalties on rogue landlords. How will it benefit tenants and affect landlords?
Also on the programme: a raft of new laws are coming into effect this autumn, but who decides when a law becomes active or is enforceable?
And family law solicitor Tracey Moloney joins us to look at an aspect of divorce that fills many people with dread: the division of assets. Can your ex claim against property you brought into the marriage? Can they claim your pension? And how can the answers to those questions differ, dependent upon where you live in the UK?
