With effect from October 1st there will be a change to legislation which raises the annual rental threshold for assured, including assured shorthold tenancies to £100,000 per annum. Previously the threshold was £25,000 per annum. For more information please see the Communities and Local Government website.

Sept 2010:

In response to the planning changes outlined below, the change of government has also prompted a change of legislation. 

Grant Shapps - the Housing Minister - has laid two statutory instruments which will come into effect from 1st October that will again mean that planning permission is not required if a property is let to unrelated people (i.e. an HMO) rather than a family. If you are not familiar with what these changes refer to, please read more here.
