Renters’ Rights Bill receives Royal Assent today, securing a fairer future for 11 million private renters in England

Renters’ Rights Bill receives Royal Assent today, securing a fairer future for 11 million private renters in England
Landmark legislation will abolish Section 21 ‘no fault’ evictions, ending a practice that has threatened thousands of renters with homelessness
The Act will rebalance landlord-tenant relations across England as part of the government’s Plan for Change

England’s 11 million private renters were granted the most significant increase to their rights in a generation when the government’s Renters’ Rights Bill received Royal Assent today at 7.40pm.
The Renters’ Rights Act delivers on the government’s Plan for Change manifesto commitment to rebalance the relationship between England’s 2.3 million landlords and 11 million tenants, ending a system that has left renters vulnerable to unfair treatment and insecurity.
At the core of the Act is the abolition of Section 21 ‘no fault’ evictions – a practice that has pushed thousands into homelessness. This seismic shift will empower tenants to challenge poor conditions and unreasonable rent increases without fear of retaliatory eviction.
The reforms will give renters the right to end tenancies with two months’ notice, while protecting legitimate landlord interests through strengthened repossession grounds that support continued investment in the sector.
In the coming weeks, ministers will outline how the reforms will be rolled out.
