NEWS STORY : Pubs Code Adjudicator Launches New Website to Support Tied Pub Tenants
STORY
The Pubs Code Adjudicator (PCA) has unveiled a new official website designed to provide tied pub tenants in England and Wales with clearer guidance on their rights and responsibilities under the Pubs Code. The website offers comprehensive information on key areas such as rent assessments, the Market Rent Only (MRO) option, and dispute resolution processes. It aims to empower tenants by enhancing transparency and accessibility to regulatory support.
Fiona Dickie, the Pubs Code Adjudicator, stated: “This new digital platform is a significant step towards ensuring that tied tenants have the resources they need to understand and exercise their rights effectively. Our goal is to foster fair and equitable relationships between pub-owning businesses and their tenants.” The launch of the website aligns with the PCA’s ongoing efforts to address concerns within the tied pub sector, where tenants often face challenges related to rent fairness and supply agreements. By providing a centralised hub of information, the PCA seeks to support tenants in making informed decisions about their businesses.
The new web-site is accessible at https://www.pubscodeadjudicator.org.uk/.
