Renters Rights Bill - LANDLORDS BE AWARE!
Change is coming: The Renters Rights Bill. This 1 minute read outlines the biggest change to the rental sector in decades. All landlords and tenants will be affected
The Renters Reform Bill has been a topic of discussion among landlords, tenants, and estate agents across the UK.
While the finer details of the bill are still being ratified and we don’t know the full extent of the bill, we do know it aims to bring significant changes to the private rental sector.
Here’s a brief overview of what we’ve gathered so far:
Key Aims of the Bill
- Abolition of Section 21 Evictions: Often referred to as “no-fault evictions,” the removal of Section 21 is a headline feature of the bill. This change intends to provide tenants with greater security in their homes.
- A New Tenant-Landlord Balance: The bill is expected to introduce measures that aim to strike a fairer balance between the rights of tenants and landlords, ensuring that both parties feel protected and supported.
- Improved Housing Standards: The government has signaled that the bill will include measures to ensure rental properties meet higher standards of quality and safety.
