Renters Rights Bill - Now it’s the law!

The Renters Rights Bill is now the Renters Rights Act – it has been given Royal Assent and is now an Act.

And now it’s up to the government to prove that it works for renters and landlords alike, say the National Residential Landlords Association.

Chief executive Ben Beadle says: “After years of debate and uncertainty, today marks an important milestone for the private rented sector. With the Renters’ Rights Act on the statute book, the sector needs certainty about the way forward.

“This is the most significant shake-up of the rental market in almost 40 years, and it is imperative that the new systems work for both tenants and responsible landlords. The NRLA stands ready to work with the Government to ensure the reforms are implemented in a way that is fair, proportionate and deliverable.

“The Government now needs to engage meaningfully with those providing the homes so desperately needed, to ensure implementation of the Bill is realistic and aligns with the practicalities of the market – not least the need for clarity well in advance of the next academic year for student housing.

“At a minimum, the sector needs six months’ notice before implementation to ensure a smooth and seamless transition, and the Government must provide certainty on this as soon as possible.

“The Government must also recognise the vital importance of a thriving private rented sector not only to meet tenant demand but to the national economy. It is essential that the Government’s reforms do not worsen the supply crisis by discouraging long term investment in the homes to rent that so many rely on.

“As the changes bed in, the Government should commit to ongoing monitoring of their impact and ensure its findings are published.”

What does this mean for our Landlords?

We want to address this head-on and offer our landlords a clear message: Rest assured, as always, you are in safe hands.

This new bill will indeed bring some of the most significant changes the private rental sector has seen in years. It will alter aspects of tenancy agreements, modify grounds for possession, and introduce new compliance standards that every landlord must meet.

For a landlord managing their own property, this represents a steep learning curve, a mountain of new administrative work, and the very real risk of non-compliance.

This is precisely where our Fully Managed service demonstrates its true value.

For our landlords, these changes will happen seamlessly in the background. You don't need to spend your evenings deciphering legal text or worrying about new processes. That's our job.

• Robust Tenant Vetting: While the rules may change, our high standards do not. Our extremely thorough vetting and referencing process ensures we continue to place only the most reliable and responsible tenants in your property, protecting your investment under any legislation.

Change is a constant in this industry, but your peace of mind doesn't have to be. We are your shield against the complexity, ensuring your journey as a landlord remains as simple and profitable as possible.
