The London Borough of Newham has agreed to remove potentially unfair terms from tenancy agreements used in providing housing to previously homeless people, writes Clare Jerrom.
The Office of Fair Trading obtained undertakings under the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contract Regulations after it concluded that a number of terms in the council’s non secure tenancy agreements were unfair.
OFT chair John Vickers said: “All tenants have a right to clear and fair contract terms. The OFT will continue to act to protect tenants against unfair terms in their contracts.”
The OFT will shortly be publishing a revised version of its
guidance on unfair terms in tenancy agreements.
