Legal background Letting Fees and Letting Agent Transparency requirements
The existing legislation relevant to letting fees is Chapter 3 of Part 3 of the Consumer Rights Act 2015 which, in England and Wales, requires a letting agent to display prominently at its client facing premises and, if it has a website, to publish on its website, a list of its relevant fees.
	The same provisions also require a letting agent engaging in letting agency or property management work in relation to housing in England to publish, in the same manner:
a statement of whether the agent is a member of a client money protection scheme (if it holds money on behalf of clients); and
a statement that indicates that the agent is a member of a redress scheme, including the name of the scheme (if the agent is required to be a member of a redress scheme for dealing with complaints in respect of its lettings work).
