UPDATE: RENTERS’ RIGHT ACT BECOMES LAW IN ENGLAND
The new Renters’ Rights Act 2025 has received Royal Assent and will reform renting laws in England by banning Section 21 “no-fault” evictions, replacing fixed-term tenancies with periodic ones, and introducing a new Decent Homes Standard for the private rented sector.

Implementation will be phased, with some provisions taking effect in late 2025 and others later
