Renters’ Rights Bill: Key Changes Every Landlord and Tenant Should Know
The private rented sector in England is undergoing its most significant reform in decades. The Renters’ Rights Bill introduces wide-ranging changes that will reshape how tenancies operate, how evictions are handled, and the rights and responsibilities of both landlords and tenants.
From the abolition of Section 21 “no-fault” evictions, to the end of fixed-term tenancies, new grounds for possession, restrictions on rent increases, and the proposed extension of Awaab’s Law into the private rental sector, the Bill marks a fundamental shift in housing law.
These reforms will have important implications for:
- Landlords seeking to regain possession lawfully
- Tenants looking for greater security and housing standards
- Professionals working across the legal and property sectors
Our team at Phoenix has prepared a detailed guide exploring what the Renters’ Rights Bill means in practice, including how the new eviction framework will work, what enforcement powers local authorities may have, and what steps landlords and tenants should consider next.
