Rent code of practice a “waste of time” and “waffle”

The code of practice for commercial landlords and tenants introduced by the government earlier this month “changes nothing”, JKS CEO Jyotin Sethi has told MCA. Speaking at MCA’s virtual event The Conversation, Sethi said the code just “encourages productive dialogue between landlords and tenants, which is what we were doing in any case. I think there’s lots more that’s needed, an extension of the lease enforcement moratorium for example, to give more time for those broken relationships and for negotiations to develop. So, for me it was it was a little bit of a waste of time.
