Renters' Rights Bill

On 11 September 2024 the Government published the Renters' Rights Bill, which will bring significant reforms to the rental sector. It has been confirmed that the House of Lords’ Report Stage for the Renters Rights Bill will be on 1 July 2025.

This means the Third Reading in the House of Lords will shortly follow. Whilst it is still possible that there could be further amendments and disagreements over the Bill, this is not anticipated meaning the Bill is likely to become law before the House of Commons' summer recess on 22 July.

The Renters' Rights Bill is a hugely significant piece of legislation for landlords and tenants alike, giving greater rights and protections to people renting their homes, including the proposed abolition of Section 21 "no fault evictions", reforming grounds for possession, the right for tenants to request permission to keep a pet, and the introduction of a Private Rented Sector Database and landlord redress scheme.
