The Renters’ Rights Bill is currently progressing through Parliament and is set to become law in spring 2025. The new law, which will be known as the Renters’ Rights Act, will fundamentally change the private rental sector.
As well as the much-heralded removal of section 21, i.e. the no-fault notice procedure, the new legislation will also make significant changes to the grounds on which landlords can recover possession. It will also reform the rights and obligations of tenants and landlords. The legislation will have retrospective effect which means that it will apply to new and existing tenancies.
This hub area hosts articles and other insights on the nuances of the draft legislation produced by our expert team of property disputes lawyers.
With this revolutionary bill set to become law in the coming months, our property disputes team hosted an introductory webinar to provide an overview of the legislation and consider whether there are any steps that agents and landlords should be taking now. Our experts pay particular attention to the changes around serving section 21 notices to recover possession.
