Renters’ Rights Bill – August 2025 Update
The Renters’ Rights Bill is currently progressing through Parliament and is expected to receive Royal Assent in September 2025, after the summer recess. This landmark legislation is set to reshape renters’ rights and landlord responsibilities throughout England’s private rental sector.
The aim? A fairer, more secure rental system. While the Bill has been welcomed by tenant groups, landlords and agents have raised concerns ranging from possible legal complexities to unintended impacts on the rental market.
The Bill may still undergo further amendments prior to final approval, which requires agreement from both the Commons and the Lords. This process is scheduled to continue from 8 September 2025, when the legislation may move between the two chambers as details are finalised.
Here’s the latest update on what’s really changing, and what it means for everyone in the rental market.
