Renters’ Rights Bill – What We Know So Far
The Renters’ Rights Bill has been heralded as a much-needed reform for the private rental sector. But will it really make a difference? While the bill promises to enhance tenant rights and renter protections, the reality is more nuanced. Landlords, tenants, and policymakers alike will need to adjust to the evolving legal and economic landscape.
The rental market is already under strain due to:
Rising interest rates, making buy-to-let investments less attractive.
A shortage of supply, which is driving up rents.
Increasing costs for both renters and landlords.
While the bill enhances security for renters, concerns remain. Will landlords exit the market? Could rental prices rise even further? And will enforcement mechanisms actually raise standards? Here’s a closer look at what’s changing—and what it could really mean for the sector.
