Renters' Rights Act
The Renter’s Rights Bill became law at the end of October, which means it has been signed off by the King, and it is now the Renters’ Rights Act. Despite this becoming law, these changes are likely to start changing within the next six months, with the aim of being fully implemented throughout 2026 and into 2027.
These are some of the biggest changes to take place in the rental sector for a long time. The reason for the new act is to ultimately provide more security to tenants by:
- Preventing rent hikes
- Abolishing "no-fault" evictions
- Granting tenants longer notice periods
- Inability to discriminate against having pets
- Only paying one month's rent up front
We are expecting more detailed information when these key provisions are put into effect, which we will update accordingly; however, if you are a landlord, it is definitely worth getting yourself acquainted with what’s in store.
