The Renters Reform Bill
The Renters Reform Bill, first introduced to Parliament in September 2024 under the previous Conservative Government, was designed to give tenants greater security and improve standards across the private rented sector. Now that the proposals have passed through Parliament and received Royal Assent on 27th October 2025, the Bill has officially become the Renters Rights Act. Although now law, its key measures will be introduced in stages starting from May 2026.
